Armoury Crate...ugh

If you use keyboard and mouse synchronized RGB lighting on an ASUS computer, I'd recommend staying away from Armoury Crate. Shortly after I bought my ASUS ROG laptop, I customized the keyboard and mouse lighting to be synchronized, using the Aura app that came with the computer, and it's been working great for over a year. Recently, some eighteen months later, I got a popup that suggested I should be installing a piece of software called ROG Armoury Crate. It sounded like a manufacturer recommendation from ASUS, so I went with it. The installation went smoothly, and Armoury Crate had a cool user interface, with lots of interesting information on the home screen, including CPU frequencies and aura sync. However, I noticed the next day, that my mouse lighting was going wild - bright colors changing rapidly - and the color controls built into Armoury Crate only worked for the keyboard and not the mouse. The old ROG Aura color control app no longer worked for the mouse, either. I put up with that for a few days, and went searching for a solution. It seems that Armoury Crate can be a cool addition for gamers, but ultimately, it tends to be buggy, and has a reputation for breaking the aura sync feature. I uninstalled Armoury Crate, but that didn't fix the problem. I downloaded the latest version of Aura Sync from the ASUS website, and after installing it and rebooting, I got my keyboard/mouse color sync back! Too much trouble for me - I'd recommend stating away from Armoury Crate!
