Asus adds eight new products to its Republic of Gamers line of gaming devices

Celebrating a decade of gaming innovation, Asus has got eight new additions to its Republic of Gamers (ROG) line of products. The line, which already includes gaming devices and peripherals, has a new laptop, a new desktop and a new motherboard, among others joining its ranks.

Asus also unveiled the ROG Avalon, a gaming PC platform that allows users greater flexibility when it comes to building their own gaming rigs. The PC is a proof of concept and is reported to have re-imagined the way in which gaming PCs are designed.

"By rethinking the limits of the ATX form-factor and redesigning the motherboard and case as a single entity, rather than as two items in tandem, we were able to optimize the layout to alleviate the most frustrating parts of the DIY process," the company said in a statement.

The ROG Avalon features SSD and graphics adaptor boards and requires no internal cabling.

In addition, Asus also pulled the wraps off the Rampage V Edition 10 gaming motherboard. The flagship motherboard under the Republic of Gamers line, the Rampage V Edition 10, is reportedly built around Intel's X99 chipset optimised for the Core i7 line of processors. The motherboard also features a customisable RGB lighting scheme.

Other additions include the ROG Swift PG248Q full-HD gaming monitor, the ROG Centurion, a gaming headset that leverages its 10-driver design to offer 7.1-channel surround sound, the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.

Asus also refreshed its G31 and GX800 series of desktops and laptops, respectively. The ROG G31 10^th anniversary edition laptop also received a Computex d&i Award at Computex 2016 on Tuesday, May 31.

Asus' Republic of Gamers devices like the ROG Claymore gaming keyboard and the ROG GT51 gaming desktop were awarded the Computex d&i Award and the Best Choice Award and Computex d&i Award at Computex.
