GIGABYTE's AORUS Engine is a unified software that GIGABYTE use for their peripherals. Below is a short video demonstrating the features of the software.



We do feel that the AORUS Engine software needs a bit of work, with the first area of concern being the scaling which makes the software suite too small on a 1440p monitor. This also impacts the text and makes some of it quite difficult to read. We feel it would be of great benefit if the software window was made bigger. Doing so would make the suite feel less cramped and in-turn make it easier to use. We also found that on occasion the software is a bit slow to apply effects and if you plan on syncing the lighting across your peripherals, some of the effects will not be available. For example, the wave effect will not work with their M3 mouse; this means that illumination sync feature is quite limited - for now at least. The software does have some strong suits though; these being the comprehensive macro and key assignment features as well as the per-key RGB lighting feature and also the in-software update feature.

The base software is good, but we think that it needs some work if GIGABYTE plan on competing with the more established software packages out there.
