G‑Helper

Asus Mouse Support

If your laptop is from Asus, your mouse probably is too. G-Helper picks up most current Asus mice automatically and exposes their full configuration inside the same app, so you don’t need to keep Armoury Crate (or any other Asus utility) installed just to set DPI, button bindings, or lighting.

When a supported Asus mouse is connected, G-Helper adds a dedicated button to the main window with the mouse name on it (you can see it at the bottom of the right-hand panel in the screenshot below). Clicking the button opens the mouse settings.

What you can configure

The mouse panel mirrors the configuration surface of Asus’s own software. The exact set of options shown depends on the mouse — wired models won’t have battery sliders, mice without RGB skip the lighting section, and so on. G-Helper queries each device for its capabilities on connect.

Buttons

Every button on the mouse can be rebound: left, right, scroll click, side back / forward, dedicated DPI button, and scroll up / down. Bindings are stored on the mouse itself, so they survive moving between machines.

DPI

Up to four DPI profiles per mouse, each with its own colour and value. Click any of the four DPI tiles, set the slider (or type the number), and the change is written to the mouse. X and Y can be set independently on models that support it. Maximum DPI varies by sensor — current top-end models go up to 42,000.

Polling rate

Whatever rates the mouse supports, from 125 Hz up to 8,000 Hz on recent models. The ROG Booster unlocks the higher tiers where applicable.

Performance

  • Angle snapping with adjustable angle, when the mouse offers it
  • Lift-off distance (Low / High)
  • Button debounce, from off through 8 ms / 12 ms / 16 ms / 20 ms / 24 ms / 28 ms / 32 ms
  • Motion sync
  • Acceleration and deceleration sliders on supported sensors
  • Zone mode — run the mouse at a different DPI inside a defined screen zone

Lighting

Per-zone (logo, scrollwheel, underglow, dock — whatever the mouse has). Modes available depend on the model and currently include Static, Breathing, Color cycle, Rainbow, Reactive, Comet, Battery state, and Off. Brightness, colour, animation speed, animation direction, and a random-colour toggle are all per-zone. There’s a “Sync with laptop” checkbox that mirrors the laptop’s Aura colour to the mouse.

Energy

  • Auto power-off after 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 minutes (or never) on wireless models
  • Low-battery warning threshold

Profiles

Up to five hardware profiles per mouse on models that support it. Each profile has its own bindings, DPI tiers, lighting, and so on. Profiles can be exported to a file and imported back, which is useful when reflashing a machine or sharing a setup between two of the same mouse.

Notes

The mouse and G-Helper run independently of each other. Settings are written to the mouse’s onboard storage, not to G-Helper. If you uninstall G-Helper later, your bindings, DPI profiles, and lighting stay on the mouse.

If a mouse 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.

For the desktop / laptop side of G-Helper, see the Requirements page.
