How to Remap the Left-Alt and Left-Windows keys on the ASUS ROG Falchion NX (Mac Style Key Layout)

Because remapping can confuse the keyboard, we have to temporarily reprogram two keys outside of the left Windows and Left Alt keys that we're trying to work with in order to get the keys swapped like we want. It would be nice if the Armour Crate software would provide a way to specify a known key rather than having us type it-but c'est la vie!

1. Open Armoury Crate
2. On the left nav, click on the "Device" tab, then select your keyboard from the list
3. Click on the "Keys" tab at the top
4. Click on the / ? key in the Armoury Crate Window, then on the right side of the Window, toggle the drop down from Default to Keyboard Function
5. Now, click in the box that says "Click here then press the key."
6. Hold down the right Alt key on your keyboard and press the left Alt key, you will now see that the / ? key is set to Left Alt
7. Click on the .> key in the Armoury Crate Window, then on the right side of the Window, toggle the drop down from Default to Keyboard Function
8. Now, click in the box that says "Click here then press the key."
9. Hold down the right Alt key on your keyboard and press the left Windows key, you will now see that the .> key is set to Left Windows
10. Click on the Left Alt key in the Armoury Crate Window, then on the right side of the Window, toggle the drop down from Default to Keyboard Function
11. Now, click in the box that says "Click here then press the key."
12. Hold down the right Alt key on your keyboard and press the .> key on your keyboard, you should now see that the Left Alt key is programmed to Left Windows
13. Click on the Left Windows key in the Armoury Crate Window, then on the right side of the Window, toggle the drop down from Default to Keyboard Function
14. Now, click in the box that says "Click here then press the key."
15. Hold down the right Alt key on your keyboard and press the / ? key on your keyboard, you should now see that the Left Windows key is programmed to Left Alt
16. Home stretch-click on the / ? key in the Armoury Crate Window and then toggle the drop down to Default
17. Repeat the toggle to default for the .> key
