#Steelseries gg vs engine drivers#

(And yes, my Armoury Crate is up to date, my drivers are up to date, the monitor is listed as supported in Asus’ Armoury Crate FAQ, etc.) And this is actually an improvement - most of my experience with Armoury Crate in the past has been having it crash instantly upon launch. Of course, the reason I almost never use it is because I can rarely get it to work.Ĭase in point: I’m writing this on an Asus ROG monitor with Aura Sync enabled, and Armoury Crate sees nothing - doesn’t recognize it, can’t control it, nothing. Probably the best thing I can say about Armoury Crate is that I don’t have super strong feelings about it - its interface, usability, impact on system resources, etc.

You can use Armoury Crate to update firmware, configure and calibrate hardware/peripheral settings, and customize RGB using Aura Sync (which is now part of Armoury Crate). Here are the top five most frustrating gaming peripheral apps, and they’re all tied for worst with every other gaming peripheral app: Asus Armoury CrateĪrmoury Crate is Asus’ software suite supporting its ROG-branded components and peripherals, including motherboards, monitors, graphics cards, keyboards, headsets, mice, desktops, laptops, coolers, etc. Or perhaps the companies are just trying to highlight how good their hardware is by giving us terrible software in comparison. I can’t say for sure, but it does seem like it would be challenging to maintain efficient, stable software while also having to constantly add on support for every round of peripheral and component drops. You might be wondering why these brands make such universally terrible software - when, for the most part, they make very good hardware. The good news is that while different programs have different issues, they all have enough problems to be tied for worst - so it’s fine to just pick your brands based on hardware. Needless to say, I’m not the biggest fan of gaming peripheral software at the moment.
