AOC G-Menu

AOC G-Menu is free Windows software for customizing supported AOC monitors and gaming peripherals, including keyboards, mice, mouse mats, and headsets. It provides settings such as keyboard macros and mouse sensitivity, along with monitor profiles and DDC/CI control. Light FX lets users choose lighting effects, colors, pulsation, and brightness; Light FX Sync coordinates RGB effects across compatible devices. Users can save multiple game profiles and switch between them, or link a profile to an executable so its application runs when that profile is selected. Discover lets users find and share game profiles, shortcuts, and color schemes. 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. Only connected devices can be selected in the interface. Requirements are Windows 7 or later, 500 MB of free disk space, and an internet connection. AOC provides a Windows download and a manual.

G-Menu brings profiles, peripheral settings, macros, and lighting controls together for supported AOC devices. Check the Windows and connection requirements, and note that only connected hardware is selectable.

It suits gaming setups that use supported AOC monitors or peripherals and need profile, macro, or lighting controls. Users need Windows and an internet connection for updates.

AOC G-Menu is free Windows software for configuring supported AOC monitors and gaming peripherals. It suits players who want game profiles and device controls in one place. Its appeal depends on having compatible AOC hardware connected.

Overview

G-Menu brings monitor profiles, peripheral settings, macros and lighting controls into a single interface. For an AOC gaming setup, that breadth can make routine adjustments easier to manage; for a mixed-brand setup, its device-specific support limits how much of the system it can cover.

Users can save multiple game profiles, switch between them and associate a profile with an executable so the application runs when that profile is selected. Discover adds shared gamer profiles, gaming shortcuts and color schemes. These tools suit players who change settings between games, though their value rests on using G-Menu with supported connected devices.

Key features

Device settings and lighting

G-Menu supports monitor profiles and DDC/CI control, as well as keyboard macros and mouse sensitivity adjustments. Light FX offers selectable effects, colors, pulsation and brightness, while Light FX Sync coordinates RGB effects across compatible devices. That makes the software useful for tuning a compatible setup as a whole, but only connected devices can be selected in the interface.

Profiles, macros and updates

The Macro interface can record, edit, import and export macros, giving users several ways to manage keyboard actions. G-Menu checks for software updates from its home page and downloads them in the background; it needs an internet connection to detect updates. The product page says firmware is kept up to date automatically, a convenience for users who prefer less manual upkeep.

Pricing

G-Menu is free: the G-Menu plan costs nothing for supported AOC devices. There is no paid tier described, so the trade-off is compatibility rather than a feature cap: users need supported AOC hardware, and only connected devices are selectable. It is a straightforward choice for an existing compatible setup, but it is not a general-purpose manager for other brands.

Platforms

G-Menu runs on Windows 7 or above and requires 500 MB of free disk space and an internet connection. AOC provides a Windows download and a downloadable manual. The Windows requirement rules it out for users who need macOS or Linux support.

Who it's for

G-Menu is best for players with supported AOC monitors and peripherals who want to manage profiles, lighting and input settings together. It is also a sensible fit for users who switch configurations between games or want to exchange profiles through Discover. Users with non-AOC gear, or who need a cross-platform utility, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Monitor profiles, DDC/CI control, peripheral settings and RGB controls sit in one tool, which suits a compatible AOC gaming setup.
• Pro: Profiles can be switched between games, tied to executables and shared through Discover, giving frequent setup changers more flexibility.
• Pro: The software is free, and its macro tools support recording, editing, importing and exporting.
• Con: Only supported connected devices can be selected, limiting its usefulness for unconnected or non-AOC hardware.
• Con: It is Windows-only and needs an internet connection to check for updates.
