G‑Helper

Asus Keyboard Support

Since version 0.277, G-Helper configures external Asus keyboards the same way it already handles Asus mice. Connect a supported keyboard and a button with its name appears at the bottom of the main window, next to the mouse button if a mouse is also connected. Clicking it opens the keyboard settings, so there’s no need to keep Armoury Crate installed for an external keyboard either.

What you can configure

As with mice, the panel only shows what the connected keyboard actually supports. Wired models have no battery section, the OLED block only appears on keyboards that have a screen, and so on.

Lighting

Hardware animation modes as offered by the keyboard: Static, Breathing, Color cycle, Wave, Reactive, Ripple, Starry night, Quicksand, and Rain drop, with up to three color slots depending on the mode, animation speed, and a brightness slider. Lighting is saved to the keyboard itself, so it persists without G-Helper running.

A sync checkbox mirrors the laptop keyboard’s Aura lighting to the external keyboard. That includes the software effects running on the laptop side, such as Ambient, Heatmap, and the Audio Spectrum / Audio Pulse visualizer modes.

Per-key RGB

Keyboards with per-key backlight get an on-screen layout where individual keys are painted directly: pick a color, click keys (or Fill All), done. A test-layout switcher helps if the detected layout doesn’t match the physical one. The TUF Gaming K1 is the only supported model limited to zone lighting instead of per-key.

Key bindings

Select a key on the same on-screen layout and rebind it from a dropdown. The Claymore II’s dedicated media keys are handled too. A reset button returns everything to defaults.

OLED screen

On Azoth models with a built-in screen, the screen can be switched on or off, its brightness adjusted, and its animation selected.

Energy

Wireless models show the battery charge next to the profile selector, plus an auto power-off timeout and a low-battery warning threshold.

Profiles

On keyboards with onboard profiles, the active profile is switched from the top of the panel.

Notes

If a keyboard is plugged in but the button doesn’t appear in G-Helper, make sure no other Asus software (Armoury Crate, Aura) is holding the device. Only one app at a time can talk to the HID interface.
