Product Information

That's all on top of the usual Windows bloat, including Whatsapp, TikTok, Disney Plus, Spotify, Kindle, Prime Video and more. In accordance with the Microsoft Silicon Support Policy, HP does not support or provide drivers for Windows 8 or Windows 7 on products configured with Intel or AMD 7th generation and forward processor

You can make different profiles for individual games or apps, but they won’t launch automatically with the game. Omen Gaming Hub lets you assign a picture and name to each profile though. You may need to update the BIOS to the latest version, or its settings aren't configured correctly. If you decide to update the BIOS to the latest version or reconfigure its settings, be sure to follow your device manufacturer's specific instructions for doing so. After selecting an effect, you will see a color scheme guide at the bottom of the HP Omen Gaming Hub. Press the Windows key + d to go to the Windows desktop, press the arrow keys to move and highlight icons on the desktop, and then press the enter key to open the highlighted icon. We saw similar performance in Far Cry 6 (ultra settings), with the Omen reaching 104 fps at 1080p and 72 fps at 1440p. The Legion 5i Pro came in second at 88 fps at 1080p and 70 fps in its native 2560 x 1600. Differences at 1080p were again bigger than at higher resolutions.

After selecting an effect, you will see a color scheme guide at the bottom of the HP OMEN Command Center. Depending on the manufacturer and model of your device, you might be able to turn on and adjust the keyboard light via your PC's control panel menu. The Omen 15 was fast on our file transfer test, copying 25GB of files at a rate of 1,123.18 MBps. Only the Alienware x15 R2 was faster at 1,353.66 MBps. What does differentiate the HP Omen 1100 from non-gaming keyboards is the support for N-key rollover. As mentioned earlier, this indicates that no matter how many keys you press at once, they will all register. I can't imagine a situation where pressing more than four or five would be necessary, or even possible; if you're pulling off combos using a mouse and keyboard, that leaves five fingers to press five keys, tops.

When did gaming keyboards (and the rest of gaming peripherals, for that matter) get so gaudy? The HP Omen Spacer proves that not all of them have to be. You can still get a serious looking keyboard with premium mechanical switches and features you want on the battlefield, like a trim build, macro functionality and even an above-average wrist rest freebie.
