Every seasoned gamer knows quick reflexes won’t cut it on their own. Whether you’re tackling high-ELO opponents in a death match or facing off against an infamous boss, winning also requires the right tools of the trade.
A speedy, stutter-free gaming PC with eSports-level accessories can make the difference between owning and getting owned. In this post, we’ll show you how to build the ultimate setup with HP OMEN and HyperX cross-compatible gaming gear.

Introducing the OMEN

As our flagship premium gaming PC, the HP OMEN has enough top-tier hardware to handle demanding modern titles with ease. Powerful processors, speedy GPUs, and a boatload of RAM ensure silky-smooth in-game performance. Plus, you’ll have space to store a solid games library on its huge SSD.
The HP OMEN desktop PC comes in 35, 45, and 55-litre versions. The bigger the box, the more high-end hardware and cooling tech is crammed inside. Gamers can choose from numerous different models, with options to suit gamers of varying budgets and needs.
For gamers on the go, the HP OMEN laptop offers speedy in-game performance in a portable chassis. These potent mobile gaming rigs span 14 to 17 inches, and weigh from 1.6 kg to 2.9 kg. Like their desktop counterparts, the HP OMEN laptop comes in an array of different hardware configurations with varying price points.

Choosing the right HP OMEN gaming PC

HP OMENs come in a wide range of models for everyone from budget-conscious casual players to well-heeled hardcore gamers.
First, consider whether a desktop or laptop is right for you. Desktops offer more raw gaming power at lower prices, while laptops appeal to on-the-go gamers seeking portability.
Ask yourself what kind of games you want to play and research their recommended GPU/CPU requirements. Ensure you have enough storage to stash your games library and sufficient RAM for multitasking. Remember to factor in the cost of the monitor and peripherals when purchasing a tower PC.

Introducing HyperX

HyperX entered the consumer tech market in 2002 with a high-performance memory module. The brand, which is now part of HP, has expanded its range to include USB flash drives, solid-state disks (SSD) and peripherals. While hardware like the HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM remains popular, HyperX has achieved global acclaim for high-performance gaming accessories like keyboards, mice, and headsets.
Specially designed for long, high-intensity sessions, these industry-leading peripherals enhance comfort and in-game performance. That leads to a more enjoyable and successful playing experience, whether you’re battling online or single-player foes.

The best HyperX gaming peripherals

HyperX has accessories to suit casual gamers and hardcore enthusiasts alike.
For headsets, the classic HyperX Cloud II is hard to beat for its signature comfort design. This lightweight headset features memory foam and leatherette ear pads that remain comfortable even during long, sweaty play sessions. Immersive audio comes courtesy of Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound, while a detachable noise-cancelling mic keeps communications clear.
The brand’s most sought-after gaming mouse is the HyperX Pulsefire Haste, a top-tier peripheral with a rapid 1ms report rate and a 2.4GHz low-latency wireless connection. Its unique hex shell design reduces weight without sacrificing durability, while low-friction PTFE skates provide an effortless glide.
Looking for a gamer-friendly keyboard? The HyperX Alloy Origins 65 delivers fast-paced performance with tactile mechanical keys. Durable PBT keycaps come with printed secondary functions for near-instant recognition, and its aircraft-grade aluminium frame keeps the keyboard stable during intense virtual skirmishes. The 65% form factor keyboard strikes a delicate balance between compactness and functionality.
Streamers seeking crisp audio recordings often opt for a dedicated USB microphone such as the HyperX QuadCast S. Four selectable polar patterns, studio-level sound capture, and a built-in anti-vibration shock mount ensure top-quality audio for serious content creators. A tap-to-mute sensor lets you control exactly what you capture, and its Radiant RGB lighting comes with cool dynamic effects.

Choosing the Right HyperX accessories

The first step is to identify any peripheral-related weaknesses affecting your in-game performance. If your mouse is too sluggish or your keyboard is slow to respond, you should invest in those respective accessories. Online players who struggle with in-game communication will find a high-quality headset makes a world of difference.
HyperX accessories come in numerous models to cater to gamers with varying needs. Casual gamers will be happy with affordable gaming accessories, though chronic gaming addicts may prefer top-of-the-line peripherals.

Seamless OMEN & HyperX Integration

As our leading gaming PCs and peripherals, the HP OMEN and HyperX integrate seamlessly. The HyperX configuration process is super simple on an HP OMEN machine, and these cutting-edge peripherals complement this powerful gaming PC.
Every HP OMEN comes with OMEN Gaming Hub, a comprehensive software suite with a slew of handy functions. Its Gaming Performance Toolkit lets you tweak your computer settings for individual titles, and you can monitor key PC metrics in real-time via the System Vitals dashboard. A Network Booster automatically prioritises gaming network traffic to guarantee the best possible speeds.
The HP OMEN Gaming Hub Light Studio lets you custom-create cool RGB lighting effects on your PC tower as well as HyperX peripherals like the keyboard, microphone, and mouse. Advanced configuration tools synchronise geospatial-aware lighting schemes through a single, user-friendly UI.
HP OMEN Gaming Hub also has a Universal Game Launcher to neatly organise your entire library in one aesthetic, easy-to-navigate space. The launcher lets you play Android games on your PC, access exclusive deals, and customise vibrant wallpapers, among other things. Seamless cloud gaming is available with a subscription in partnership with GeForce™ NOW.
The HyperX NGENUITY software also offers a myriad of game-enhancing features, this time focused on the functionality of your peripherals. The program, which runs seamlessly on any HP OMEN, lets you customise mouse control through precise DPI movements, disable certain keys with a Game Mode button, and create macros and button bindings. You can also use NGENUITY to customise HyperX RGB lighting profiles, much like you would on HP OMEN Gaming Hub.

A Match Made In Gaming Heaven

This combination of high-powered hardware and elite peripheral performance led Riot Games to form an official partnership with HP OMEN and HyperX. Famed for smash-hit titles like League of Legends and Valorant, Riot Games has become a global eSports leader, with millions of players competing furiously in its fast-paced titles every day.
From high-stakes eSports championships to community events and in-house game development, all Riot Games operations now exclusively use OMEN and HyperX hardware. The decision to endorse these two premium gaming brands as official partners is a testament to their high-calibre performance.

Summary

Having the right hardware on hand optimises the in-game experience and gives you a competitive edge against your enemies. By combining a top-of-the-line HP OMEN gaming setup with best-in-class HyperX accessories, you’ll enjoy a silky-smooth in-game experience and perform at your peak.
