AORUS /ˈaʊ.rəs/ is a gamer-focused computer company that makes SLI gaming laptops, motherboards, graphics cards, mechanical gaming keyboards, and other gaming peripherals.

Name
The brand name "AORUS" is coined from an Egyptian god, Horus,[2] known to be the god of sky and kingship, which is depicted as a falcon. The falcon head is therefore used as AORUS's brand logo. According to employees, the first letter of HORUS was changed to "A" to represent the brand as "A team".
Accessories
AORUS also designs, produces and markets various gaming accessories such as backpacks[3] and mousepads.[4] Graphics cards are also about to be launched. [5]
