Armoury Crate

Softonic review

Control your ROG setup with ease

Armoury Crate is a free unified software tool that enables you to connect, configure, and control ASUS ROG products for your PC setup. Developed by ASUSTeK Computer Inc., this program is considered the one-stop application for customizing your gaming PC’s capabilities. It offers in-depth settings on system lighting effects and gaming configuration, to name a few.

Armoury Crate is similar to iCUE and Logitech G HUB, which are specifically designed to work with their brand’s respective hardware. This software also features easy access to the latest updates for your hardware, as well as any ROG news that may interest you.

An all-in-one solution

Republic of Gamers (ROG) is the official PC gaming-oriented line of the computer hardware company, ASUS. It offers high-spec products that are geared towards handling resource-heavy games—whether it’s because of the graphics or the space required. These include accessories such as keyboards and mouses, since gaming-optimized hardware helps in making your experience much better. However, the sheer amount of products you can get from this brand can be overwhelming.

This is where Armoury Crate shines, as it practically unifies all of your ROG devices and lets you configure them using just a single intuitive interface. This is highly helpful as your components’ behavior can be customized via this program. One notable example is the Aura Sync feature, which allows for RGB illumination and effects customization for every compatible device you have. 

The software also enables keymapping, profile creation for different builds, and managing your PC’s performance regarding your cooling system and fan speeds. Aside from this, the app acts as your hub for news and updates from ROG and even your gaming center—similar to Steam and Origin. However, not all ROG devices are compatible with this application so you should check its list of supported products first.

Take charge in optimizations

All in all, Armoury Crate is a highly helpful software to have if you happen to use a ROG computer and other hardware. Not only does it allow you to customize and configure your setup to your heart’s content, but it also functions as a gaming hub that offers news, updates, and games. However, you’ll first need to check if your devices are supported by this program.
