In their own words
AOC G-Menu
AOC G-Menu is a free Windows portal for customizing supported AOC gaming monitors and peripherals, including keyboards, mice, mouse mats and headsets. Its settings include keyboard macros and mouse sensitivity adjustments. Light FX lets users choose effects, colors, pulsation and brightness for compatible devices, while Light FX Sync coordinates RGB effects across them.
Users can save multiple game profiles and switch between them, or associate a profile with an executable so its application runs when that profile is selected. Discover lets users find and share game profiles. The Macro interface supports recording, editing, importing and exporting macros. G-Menu checks for software updates from its home page and downloads available updates in the background; it cannot check without a network connection. The interface offers only connected devices. The manual lists Windows 7 or above, 500 MB of free hard disk space and an internet connection as requirements. AOC provides a Windows download and a manual.
Pulsar Fusion
Pulsar Fusion is software for configuring compatible Pulsar gaming mice. The Windows application supports multiple settings profiles, import and export of settings files, up to three DPI profiles, and advanced macros assigned to mouse buttons. Wireless Fusion supports Pulsar wireless mice except the eS Series; separate Fusion2 software covers wired Pulsar mice released after September 2024. Newer compatible models can use Pulsar web software in a browser, while the Windows application does not work on macOS. Scroll-wheel movement in macros requires the compatible web driver. Using 4K or 8K polling requires both a compatible mouse and the corresponding receiver or dongle. Turbo Mode is beta-available for CrazyLight, TenZ and X2F models; it holds the sensor at a 20,000 FPS scanning rate and increases battery demand. The download page lists separate Fusion and Fusion2 software, and pairing a 4K dongle uses the 4K Wireless Pairing tool. Some models receive firmware updates within the software. Pulsar lists the software as free.
