It is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of your laptop’s keyboard to suit your needs. Different keyboard sensitivities are required to make different software and applications work on your laptop. Those who want to complete daily tasks on their computer; they should consider getting moderate sensitivity for effective and efficient completion of the tasks. Those who wish to play games and run other design applications on their laptop, they will need to get enhanced keyboard sensitivity on their laptop. If the operating system on your computer is Windows XP then adjusting the sensitivity is relatively simple.

Instructions
- Most laptops (including some models of ASUS) have these keys. Look for the Fn button and check your Laptop keys, as they have sub-options for you to adjust some settings, such as volume or the brightness. Very weak colors and pinkish after images on q551l laptop? Tried splendid with four choices with manual selection with only variation of temp.
- ASUS software service portal: MyASUS integrates all the ASUS software service into a single app, including ASUS Live Update, hardware adjustment controls, customer support services, membership services, ASUS AppDeals, Link to MyASUS and more.
- Firstly, you will need to start up your computer if you haven’t already done so. Enter your control panel password to access the desktop applications. Once you have done that, wait for Windows to load. On the bottom left of the home screen, click the start button to see the list of available programs. On the displayed list, you should be able to see the Control Panel button. Click on it to access your computer’s hardware applications.
- 2In the Control Panel folder, you will see the keyboard sensitivity tab. Double click on that and then use the mouse cursor to adjust the sensitivity from slow to fast according to your needs. The keyboard sensitivity is an extremely smart and effective application that allows you to determine how quickly your must double click to open a file, folder or a program. For quicker response, you must adjust the sensitivity to fast. For those who want the response to be slow, then should consider adjusting the sensitivity to slow.
- 3You can also test the sensitivity of your keyboard by using the Test Area option available on the same window. To test keyboard’s sensitivity, consider scrolling your pointer arrow over the Test Area tab on the keyboard sensitivity window and then double click on it. Once the computer detects your double click, it will display an image of dolphin reaching a balloon. If you are unable to spot the dolphin on your screen, you should readjust your keyboard’s speed to meet your needs.

This page contains instructions and tips for configuring Arch Linux on the ASUS Zephyrus G14 and ASUS ROG Studio Pro 14 (GA401I).
Kernel patch
Since the hardware of this laptop is rather new, some kernel patches are currently needed for its full functionality.
A kernel with these patches is available in the AUR: linux-zen-g14AUR.
CPU frequency
By default, the
i8042
and asus-nb-wmi
(depends on i8042
) kernel modules will refuse to load, resulting in CPU frequency dropping to 400MHz. To fix this, recompile the kernel with the following kernel patch.Function keys
Most of them work out of the box, others need this patch.
ASUS NB Ctrl
ASUS NB Ctrl is a utility for Linux to control many aspects of various ASUS laptops, but can also be used with non-asus laptops with reduced features. It reimplements some Armoury Crate functionality, such as fan modes and the AniMe-Matrix display. It is available in the AUR: asus-nb-ctrl-gitAUR.
This package provides two programs,
asusctl
and asusd
, that can be used to view and modify some hardware settings, such as :- the current power profile (fan speed and boost mode)
- the graphics card (Nvidia dGPU or AMD iGPU) to use
- the battery charge limit
- the LED mode for the keyboard backlight and AniMe Matrix (available only on some models)
Switching to the dedicated Nvidia GPU
The dedicated GPU offers better performance than the integrated one at the cost of higher power consumption. The current graphics mode can be checked using :
Available modes are
nvidia
, hybrid
, compute
and integrated
. Switch to the dedicated graphics card with :Then reboot to take the change into effect.
DBus notifications
Notifications provide feedback when a setting is changed using
asusctl
and are especially useful when a setting has been bound to a custom keyboard shortcut. They are provided by the asus-notify
systemd service that needs to be enabled and started :Asus Keyboard Adjustment Tool Downloads
Battery charge limit
Setting a limit to the battery charge can be useful to preserve its longevity when the laptop is used as a static workstation for long period of times. Set your prefered limit (in percent, from 20 to 100) using :
60% is usually considered a stable charge state for lithium-based batteries.
Power profile
The power profile controls three settings : CPU scaling (only on Intel CPUs), Boost mode and fans speed. By default, three profiles are provided :
silent
, normal
and boost
. Custom profiles can be defined.Asus Flash Tool Download
The easiest way to use this feature is to bind the Fn-F5 key to this command, which will switch to the next available profile :
asusctl profile -n
. This will imitate the way the original Asus service works on Windows. Notifications should be enabled in order to know which profile is selected each time the shortcut is pressed. A specific profile can be manually selected using :High battery usage/low runtime on battery
The G14 can be tweaked to have far better battery live and performance on windows [1]. A few optimizations can be taken to reach a similar battery live on Arch (you can monitor your current power usage using powertop - note that only the reported battery discharge seems to be fully accurate).
Nvidia driver optimization
Download Asus Keyboard Lock
When using the official Nvidia driver, the power usage can be reduced by putting the following line in
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
:This has also shown to reduce fan noise and overall heat.
Disabling turbo boost
While not necessarily saving power, some user prefer to disable turbo boost for smoother power delivery and less heat. To temporarily disable boost, execute the following:
Or use the power profiles from
asusctl
to handle this automatically, as explained above.General Tips
To maximize the battery life, follow the general tips at Power management.
Troubleshooting
Using external display through the USB-C port
While the dedicated HDMI port works out of the box, the display output through the USB-C port doesn't appear to be connected to the integrated graphics controller. Using an external display through this port requires to switch to the dedicated Nvidia graphics card. See the ASUS NB Ctrl section above for more details.
Volume adjustment
When using built-in speakers, volume adjustment will not work for PulseAudio. Download this patch and apply it:
Then restart pulseaudio:
