Much like the new Razer Huntsman keyboard, the new HP Omen Sequencer features an optical-mechanical operation, but it manages to set itself apart thanks to interesting functions and striking design elements. Like the previously mentioned Razer keyboard, this new offering from HP combines mechanical keyboard switches with its own optical laser. This combination allows for a 0.2ms reaction time and is on par with some of the fastest keyboards ever made. This blend of sensors gives the keyboard an incredibly tactile feel while keeping the volume of taps down as a user clicks on the keyboard.
The HP Omen Sequencer also features an over-sized space bar for easy access when gaming, several RGB lighting zone and five macro buttons down the side of the keyboard. Also featured on the keyboard is a red volume slider that uses grooves and metal diamond stipling to offer a tacticle and responsive feel.
