Zephyrus G16: G Helper vs. Armoury Crate - Can I Use Both?(READ POST)

Hey everyone!

I recently got a Zephyrus G16, and here are the specs for those curious: • GPU: RTX 4090 • Processor: Intel Ultra H185 • Storage: 2TB SSD • RAM: 32GB

Loving the laptop so far, but I’ve run into the age-old Armoury Crate dilemma. Honestly, Armoury Crate feels slow, laggy, and just not as convenient as I hoped. I tried out G Helper, and wow, it’s such a nice alternative—lightweight, fast, and super straightforward. I’ve been enjoying it as a quick way to switch profiles and manage performance modes.

That said, I’ve noticed G Helper lacks some small but useful features that Armoury Crate offers, like being able to customize how my keyboard backlight behaves when the screen is off. It’s those tiny quality-of-life things that make me hesitant to fully uninstall Armoury Crate.

So here are my questions: 1. Is it possible to use G Helper and Armoury Crate at the same time without conflicts? I’d love to use G Helper as my primary tool while keeping Armoury Crate for those niche features. 2. While I know Armoury Crate isn’t perfect, what are some genuinely good things about it? I feel like all I ever hear is to uninstall it immediately, but there must be something it does well, right?

Would love to hear your thoughts, advice, and experiences with using these tools together!
