Now, see, once again this looks like a good mouse by Asus. One that I'd be interested in picking up, actually. But once again, I see the words "Armoury Crate" in the description and what started as interest in this mouse quickly turns to dread and a keen awareness to stay far, far away from it. :fear:

Is it just me or is Asus marketing the weirdest and worst? (Strix, Tuf, etc).

Easy solution: do not install Armoury Crate. I own the previous versione of this mouse and it is a reasonably cheap and good mouse. But definitely if you are looking into programmable buttons, you should stay away…
By the way almost every single customization app out there is garbage, so I’d like to have all the functionalities integrated in windows
