About this deal

The Omen Spacer’s key caps don’t offer much resistance. They have comfortable grooves that fit my fingertips nicely, but there’s some mild slipperiness to them that made typing slightly more exhausting. But with the keys’ Cherry MX Brown switches and significant amount of space between them, typing was a delight. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test I hit my average speed but dropped about 2% in accuracy, possibly because I still needed to adjust to the distance between the keys. Unlike their bigger desktop sibling, laptops are smaller, slimmer, and more intricate due to their compact nature. That means that they’re generally more difficult to take apart and reassemble. For inexperienced non-professionals, getting underneath the keyboard plate without proper training or proper tools may do more harm to your PC than anything else. If the menu is not visible from a window, press and release the alt key. To open a menu or an item from a menu, press and hold the alt key, and then press the letter key that matches the underlined character in the menu.

Copy a picture of the current window (not the entire screen) to the Windows clipboard to be pasted as a graphic later. Your productivity depends on a number of particular elements that can make or break your flow. Sometimes it’s the brightness of your screen or your keyboard that can throw you off or exhaust your sensitive retinas. On the monkeytype typing test, I reached 112 words per minute with a 98% accuracy rate, which is decent for me. I do think some typos may have been due to the small keycaps. There's deep travel, so the experience was comfortable, at the very least.The most important software pre-loaded on the Omen is HP's Omen Gaming Hub, which serves as a game launcher, a place to see component temperature and utilization and adjust power modes. It also can launch several other apps, including Light Studio to control the RGB lighting on the keyboard and Oasis, an HP-proprietary streaming app. Some keyboards, like the Logitech G Pro desktop keyboard, will actually have a dedicated button that you can press to toggle the keyboard light on or off. In the case of the Logitech G Pro, you'll want to look for a button stamped with a sun icon with rays in the upper-right corner of the keyboard. One of the coolest features integrated into HP OMEN laptops is their capacity for keyboard light animation. Designed to give gamers a more immersive experience, HP OMEN laptops can be configured to brighten and pulse with the bass and treble within your PC. So whether you’re the shooter ready to aim and fire, or the victim of a fatal game-changing blow, your keyboard will come to life with your game scape. The built-in, full-size, 4-zone keyboard features NKRO anti-ghosting key technology. That means you can press as many keys as you need to win your battle royale round without ever losing a keystroke.

Speaking of, a USB-C port lives next to the power button, allowing you to charge or use the keyboard with its braided USB-C to USB-A cable. HP also includes an extender that you can insert the helpfully Omen-stamped USB Type-A 2.4 GHz dongle into to further reduce potential connection uses.

The HP Omen feels mature, despite minor rough edges.

HP’s MSRP is subject to discount. HP’s MSRP price is shown as either a stand-alone price or as a strike-through price with a discounted or promotional price also listed. Discounted or promotional pricing is indicated by the presence of an additional higher MSRP strike-through price A handy battery indicator helps you know when you’ve turned the keyboard on or off (or if the battery’s running low). The power switch on the top edge also shows green when on, and combined with the battery indicator it helps alleviate any confusion when charging the Omen Spacer or pairing it with your PC.

After selecting an effect, you will see a color scheme guide at the bottom of the HP Omen Gaming Hub. On the upside, you don't have to worry about learning the ins and outs of a new customization utility with the Omen 1100, because it doesn't have one.
