Hello,
I have just purchased ROG AZOTH , and installed AC Gear which prompts me to update the keyboard firmware to version 4.00.07.
I have seen several posts on reddit claiming that the keyboard has double key chatter after installing a firmware update, and am wondering if this has happened with this current version.
1 - Is it safe to install this firmware version?
2 - Is there anyway to see what is being fixed/added?
3 - Is there a way to reverse in case it bricks something?
Main reason I want to update is because I cannot add a custom animation in the "OLED" tab in AC Gear app. (And yes, I am connecting through USB and have tried different ports and have the latest omnipoint firmware version)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello ruizeren
Armoury Crate Gear just has basic functions, you won't be able to upload gifs with Armoury Crate Gear.
To try and keep it simple, I'll list in steps what to do.
1) Uninstall Armoury Crate Gear and reboot your pc.
2) Install Armoury Crate version 3.2.11.2 - Armoury Crate - Support
3) Connect the charging cable to your ROG Azoth and a pc usb port, you can use motherboard or pc case usb ports.
4) Set the wireless switch on your ROG Azoth to wired mode (switch set to the center position).
5) Connect the wireless dongle to a pc usb port, you can use motherboard or pc case usb ports.
6) Check for updates at the Armoury Crate update center.
7) Now you're ready to upload gifs, if you need help with this just say so. I put a Happy New Year gif on mine.

Hey @Nate152 !
Thanks for the swift reply!
I am not using AC Gear on my main pc, I installed it on an old laptop (no offense at all, but had very bad experience with AC software on my previous main PC and am trying to avoid installing it on my current PC). After uninstalling AC Gear in that old laptop, I could not install AC, it would give me an error and prompt to run AC uninstaller and try again. This didn't work.
So, I do have another old laptop, and installed AC there and, after updating firmware and some other stuff, I could finally update my own animation (Pikachu + Squirtle dancing :P).
Meanwhile, I did lost the connection between my kb and the USB dongle, and after 1h of searching here on the forum, the solution was to go to my work laptop, run FirmwareAutoUpdate_1.0.0.13 and it is now okay again.
Only have one more question for you, hope you can help me with this. AC Gear on my old laptop I prompts me to install firmware 4.00.xx whilst AC on my old laptop II prompts me to install firmware 6.00.xx (can't remember now). Both AC and AC Gear says that the current firmware is 4.00.13. What should I do here?
Should I just leave as it is since the keyboard is working normally and I can use all it's functionality?
Thanks sir!

Awesome, good to hear you got it working.
You should probably update the dongle firmware to 6.00.25.
