I've been looking at /etc/acpi/events and wondering why there is nothing for asus brightness:

I see several asus things like asus-mail which work. I also see stuff for sony and toshiba brightness. Here is what is in asus-mail:

event=hotkey ATKD 00000050
action=/etc/acpi/mailbtn.sh

When FN F3 is pressed, mailbtn.sh runs. I tried making a similar thing with the assumption that 52 and 53 are F5 and F6 and using the scripts we got from Sytem76 to bind to F5 and F6, but that didn't work. Perhaps I'm being too simplistic or I got the numbers for F5 and F6 keys wrong.

xdev does not show F3 to be 50; so that is not where the '0000050' came from.

I think /etc/acpi/events may have been populated by the acpi-support package which doesn't include brightness for asus as far as I can tell.
