This week at Gamescom 2024, HP Inc. unveiled its latest gaming gear from OMEN and HyperX. The new offerings take customization to the next level, allowing gamers to fine-tune their aesthetics and ensure their desktops are future-ready with OMEN components.

"HP is committed to pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver unparalleled, personalized experiences for every gamer," said Josephine Tan, Senior Vice President & Division President of Personal Systems Gaming Solutions. "With our latest innovations in OMEN and HyperX, being showcased at Gamescom 2024, we are excited to elevate the gaming experience. Our goal is to provide users with the tools they need to perform at their best and ensure their systems are upgradable, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in their gaming worlds for years to come."

HyperX, now an HP brand, made a big splash this 2024 CES, with the new Alloy Rise 75, and some groovy keysets. The Alloy Rise 75 is a slick 75% keyboard with various key switch options, a programmable rotary dial, and pudding keycaps. The company also showed off top-plate accessories for the full-sized Alloy Rise keyboard. They pudding keycaps on these are easy to replace with one of many new keysets and panel kits HyperX brought out this year.

A panel kit consists of keycaps, headset body mounts along the headphone cans; and additional mounts along the headband. Among the panel kits we spied were Valkyrie—the one with the angelic wings on the headset panel; Mythical—the one with the orc ears and teeth; Werewolf—the one with the claws; and Something (literally that), but a mix of elements such as mushrooms and dragon claws.

Today at CES 2024, HP Inc. unveiled its most personalized gaming portfolio yet with innovations across its OMEN and HyperX brands. New laptops, accessories, and software are all designed to work together to create a seamless gaming ecosystem so gamers can focus on what they do best - play.

"Computing continues to become more personal, and this is especially true in the gaming community," said Josephine Tan, Senior Vice President & Division President of Personal Systems Gaming Solutions, HP Inc. "Whether it is your gaming laptop, monitor, or accessory, HP has developed a customizable and personalized solution that can be tailored to your need."

People everywhere seek devices that can adapt to hybrid play and work. Sixty-two percent of gamers prefer a PC that fits their entire life instead of being used for gaming only. With a billion new gamers entering the space in the last seven years and 84 percent of them using games to connect with others with similar interests, gaming devices enable access to countless games and corresponding communities.

HyperX is readying its brand new Pulsefire Warp wireless gaming mouse, and it may have jumped the queue in front of the recently revealed Pulsefire Haste 2 wired and wireless models. The Pulsefire Warp seems to be an exclusive item for sale only on the MechKeys online store for the time being, and there is no word about it becoming available at more mainstream outlets. The Haste 2 variants have been spotted out in the wild, but only a few lucky people managed to snag these mice early - that initial batch was either a time exclusive preview or issued in error by parent company Hewlett Packard, via its official Ebay outlet. HyperX has stated that the official Haste 2 launch window is scheduled for next month.

The Pulsefire Warp looks to sit below the Haste 2 Wireless in terms of specifications - it lacks the latter's high-end optical sensor (PAW 3395), fancy primary switches and a shell engineered to be very light in weight (74 g vs. 60 g respectively). This indicates that it is a more budget friendly offering, coming at a release price of $65.99, yet the Haste 2 Wireless will have an MSRP of $79.99, and the Haste 2 Wired's MSRP will be $59.99. HyperX is likely targeting different segments within the gaming mouse buying market with its Pulsefire range - the Warp will appeal to a more general audience with an offering of solid performance, a transparent shell aesthetic paired with RGB lighting. In contrast, the Haste 2 variants are stripped back in appearance and tuned for maximum performance - so enthusiasts and hardcore competitive types will be eager to get a hands-on with these.

HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP Inc. and brand leader in gaming and esports, today announced it is now shipping the HyperX Clutch Gladiate Wired Controller for Xbox. Designed for serious Xbox gamers, the new Clutch Gladiate delivers comfort and control for extended console gaming sessions.

"HyperX's range of Xbox accessories are designed to enhance the gaming experience for console players," said Aurelius Martinez, global category manager - cloud and console gaming, HyperX. "The new HyperX Clutch Gladiate brings players into the action and enables extended customization and control."

HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP Inc. and brand leader in gaming and esports, today announced the HyperX Limited Edition Keycap - MapleStory Orange Mushroom, from Nexon's MapleStory franchise, as the second HX3D personalized keycap drop in 2023. In addition, Loot Drop III, HyperX's global fan appreciation and community event, is scheduled to run March 13 - 27 with global opportunities to engage with HyperX social ambassadors and personalities. Loot Drop III will celebrate fans through social channel activities including influencer participation, fan appreciation, and more.

Orange Mushroom is one of the original monsters in the massively multi-player online MapleStory game and one of the first monsters that players encounter when progressing through the Maple World. This iconic character has no shortage of experience when it comes to being featured on fan-favorite collectables such as t-shirts and coffee mugs. Now, fans can add their favorite Orange Mushroom to keyboards as the second HyperX 3D printed keycap launch from the HX3D personalization keycaps series. The HyperX Limited Edition Keycap - MapleStory Orange Mushroom will be available for purchase on Friday, March 17 - 19, 9 a.m. PST at Hyperx.com, in the U.S. only.

HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP Inc. and brand leader in gaming and esports, today announced the first 3D product drop of 2023 for the new HyperX HX3D program, a limited-edition "Coco" the Cozy Cat Keycap available on Jan. 26 at 9 a.m. EST exclusively on Hyperx.com. Designed to add a personal and unique flair to gaming setups, the custom keycap can be used as an escape key enhancement or a modified key of your choice. Gamers, influencers, streamers and cat lovers alike can enjoy the "purr-fect" feline companion on their keyboard or showcase it as part of their favorite cat collectibles and memorabilia.

HyperX HX3D is an exciting new program bringing gamers a range of ways to customize and personalize their favorite gaming gear by leveraging HP's best-in-class 3D printing technology. The first planned series of 3D printed peripheral upgrades are limited edition custom keycaps, designed to fit on HyperX and most other mechanical keyboards. These will be available to consumers over the coming months. "Coco" is the first of many planned HX3D products to personalize keyboards, headsets, mice, and other gaming products.

For the latest crop of game streamers, the set is as important as the gear and the gameplay itself, and so HyperX launched HX3D Hardware Customization Program. This is basically a new range of 3D-printed accessories for your HyperX gaming peripherals, which can liven up your streaming set to suit your personality/style. HyperX showed off several examples, such as a pretty slick Giger-inspired rib-cage enclosure for a Quadcast mic that doubles up as a Cloud headset stand; a giant mushroom holding a nest with a Quadcast sticking out, a bunny figurine headset stand, and countless new custom keycaps—basically Hummels for streamers.

At the 2023 International CES, HyperX launched its most powerful wired Xbox controller, the HyperX Clutch Gladiate. An official Xbox-licensed third-party controller, the Clutch Gladiate comes with locks for each of the two triggers, and re-mappable rear buttons. Haptics are care of a dual-motor rumble rigging, with fine-grained force feedback. The controller also comes with a 3.5 mm analog headset jack.

The Pulsefire Haste 2 gaming mouse comes in wired- and wireless variants. It has a pseudo-ambidextrous shape (the side buttons are only accessible for righthanders). The wired version weights 53 g, while the wireless one surprisingly isn't much heavier, at just 62 g, yet with up to 100 hours of battery life on a single charge. These mice use in-house HyperX Switches rated for 100 million clicks; and HyperX 26K (26,000 dpi) sensor. Its electronics provide a staggering 8000 Hz polling rate. The mouse comes with PTFE skates that strike a balance between both speed and precision. The Clutch Gladiate is priced at $35, the wired Pulsefire Haste 2 at $60, and the wireless Pulsefire Haste 2 at $80.

HyperX, the former gaming peripherals brand of Kingston, was acquired by PC OEM giant HP in 2021. It was only natural for HP to use the HyperX brand to ship gaming monitors at some point, as the company has a vast lineup of not just PC and professional displays, but also some gaming displays under its HP OMEN brand. The company announced the HyperX Armada brand of gaming monitors in the 25-inch and 27-inch planar category in September 2022. We spotted it at the 2023 CES. It has prominent HyperX badging, some peel-off stickers on the front bezel detailing its key gamer-friendly features; and an NVIDIA G-SYNC logo. Key specs include WQHD (1440p) resolution, 165 Hz refresh-rate, DisplayHDR 400, and a fast IPS panel with 1 ms response time. HP will probably retain the OMEN brand for ultra-premium gaming monitors, with the HyperX Armada series in the mid-range.

Today at CES 2023, HP Inc is announcing new products and solutions designed to recharge hybrid experiences so people can thrive in today's digital world. "Hybrid provides us with greater flexibility and freedom in our personal lives, but brings its own set of challenges for people to stay productive and connected to others," said Alex Cho, President, Personal Systems, HP Inc. "HP is taking the headache out of hybrid by delivering powerful and best-in-class ecosystem experiences and industry-leading innovations - including the new HP Dragonfly Pro portfolio for freelancers, the Poly Voyager Free 60 Series Wireless Earbuds for exceptional audio experiences, and the HP E-Series monitors to help take productivity to the next level - while ensuring we continue to advance our world's most sustainable PC portfolio."4
