HP Omen Encoder Customizable Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Cherry MX Red Keys, Full N-Key Rollover, LED Backlit, USB (6YW76AA), 6YW76AA#ABA

The HP keyboard that came with my Omen 25L was pretty lame for gaming, so I purchased this keyboard. What a difference! Plugged it in to the PC, software installed itself (a beta lighting program) and it was ready to go. Nice match for the Omen PC series. Keys are made for gaming. WASD keys have red key caps and white lighting by default while the other keys have black key caps and red lighting. Never been a fan of red for lighting, but this one actually looks really nice. I did turn the brightness of keys way down and they are about perfect. If you purchase the Omen series PC for gaming, this is the keyboard you want.

This keyboard makes a great addition to my Omen desktop. I love the ability to create and change templates through the Omen Command Center so I can focus attention on specific keys, and I can adjust the brightness to my liking as well. The keyboard is heavy! But that's a good thing. It isn't going to slide around while you play, it will stay put. I use this for a combination of work and gaming. The keys are a little louder than I would have liked for a work keyboard, so I'm glad I went with the Cherry MX Red keys instead of the blue.

Bought it for my 13-year old son… he uses it for gaming mainly and loves it! Very high tech looking and glows red…I think it changes colors. Price was really good!

I was looking for something that feels like the near legendary IBM terminal keyboard. I've been touch typing for over 60 years and the IBM is my gold standard. This is close enough to satisfy me. The LED lighting is an annoyance, likewise the different color of the WASD keys. This is a common "feature" of mechanical keyboards. I'd be perfectly happy with unlit uniform black or beige. I'm a bit heavy handed and still haven't gotten used to the sensitivity of the keys. From time to time I get spurious characters on the screen when I put my hands on the keyboard. All in all I like it. I can type as fast as my coordination lets me and the keys click.

This is a GAMER'S keyboard, which means that it is loud and clunky. Having never gamed in my LIFE, I didn't realize that and replaced it after a week with something smooth and silent.

We got this for our son for Christmas. He loves it. He is a night owl and his girlfriend works days remotely. He works at night remotely. He can now work without bright lights to bother her.

For Christmas, my best friend bought his son an Omen gaming PC. I bought the accessories, and did a ton of research before just buying the omen brand. This keyboard is 100% worth every penny. It is so well made, comfortable, and has the most satisfying click action I've seen on a keyboard. You can also customize the heck out of it, including the backlighting colors. SO. Cool. Highly recommend!!!
