This mouse uses Armoury Crate for customization. This software is available for download in two versions: a ‘lite version,’ which auto-detects connected ASUS devices and automatically installs corresponding software, or a ‘full package,’ allowing you to select supported devices manually.
This software allows you to customize expected settings, including button assignments, macros, RGB lighting, surface calibration, and power options. You can also adjust sensor settings like CPI, angle snapping, and polling rates.
However, as with software options from other major manufacturers, Armoury Crate is the source of criticism from the broader community. While we didn’t experience any issues during the testing of this mouse, many users online criticize this software for being unnecessarily bloated, requiring frequent updates, and taking up disproportionate system resources, among other complaints. This software may be frustrating if you prefer more lightweight software options or no software at all.
This mouse also offers a separate software integration feature with the popular aim training software Aim Lab. ASUS calls this the Aim Lab Settings Optimizer, and they claim it can help you choose what CPI, angle tuning, and lift-off distance settings to use with this mouse to complement your play style.
