@Cudacke hello,

I think reason is that you had hardware FN-lock toggled before uninstalling :) and g-helper couldn't turn it off as it was not supported before.

I have recently discovered how that toggle works in other issue

So try this build and check if toggle works here (and post a log from it)

Hi Seerge,

I tried the build. the FN key and FN lock work exact opposite of what normally do.
If FN is locked the keys are F1-F12
If FN is unlocked the keys are function key.

I also found that in v0.184.0. If I only enabled the service "ASUS optimization" with myASUS unstalled.
FN key works fine.

@Cudacke hello,

It's strange, cause 2 other people in other thread (including one with exactly same device) reported it's working fine.

In your log i see that you start app with FN-Lock enabled.

2024/8/23 上午 10:03:24: FnLock = 1 : OK
2024/8/23 上午 10:03:24: USB FnLock 19B6|63: 5A-D0-4E-01

Just to clarify when FN-lock is enabled - pressing F1 will mute, and pressing FN+F1 will do F1. And this is intended behavior. When FN-lock is enabled corresponding button in G-Helper UI should be blue. Does it behave differently ?

Do you by any chance have any asus services that could interfere ?

[seerge]

Quick question to @lazer15 since you have same device. Is FN-Lock inverted for you (in the latest build) or does it work correctly ?

[lazer15]

@seerge
Pressing FN+F3 (F3 is also volume up) results in F3 being pressed not volume up.

Pressing FN+ESC (turning on FN lock) -> then pressing F3 --- results in F3 being pressed (volume up is not triggered).

With FN+ESC not pressed and FN not pressed ---- volume up is triggered when pressing the same F3/volume+ key.

My asus isn't running. Asus services are off. Creator hub is uninstalled although I did leave the hub service installed. It isn't running though.

[seerge]

@lazer15 ok, so it's also inverted then ? How was it with just asus services ?

[lazer15]

@seerge
I disabled g-helper, started asus services and rebooted.

The way it should work according to the Asus pop-ups is FN+ESC turns on the lock and the alternate functions on the F# keys become active like volume up/down not F2/F3.

Turning off FN+ESC shows a popup that the keys will act like normal F# keys.

So yes, it is inverted with g-helper. Correct with asus services.

@lazer15 @Cudacke ok, thanks

Try this build then, it should behave same as Asus service (i.e. I have inverted fn-lock back)

@seerge
That's working like the Asus service now. No inversion.

Turning FN-Lock on enables volume control/brightness control. Turning off FN-Lock makes them normal F# keys.

@lazer15 Amazing, closing as resolved then

Thanks for helping

Do you know if flicker free dimming is supported on the proart? I don't see it in the ghelper settings but it is present in my Asus.

@lazer15 try this build GHelper.zip

[Cudacke]

The new one worked after I reinstalled MyASUS, disable the services and the. uninstall MyASUS.

[seerge]

@Cudacke you don't have to reinstall myasus to disable services. You can just stop them in Extra. But glad to hear.

P.S. You can also check if Flicker Free dimming works in last build posted here

@seerge
Flicker free dimming slider appeared and it works.
