Improving your gaming skills may require some hardware changes. An upgrade to your gaming station means finding all the right gaming accessories for hardcore gamers.
Before investing in the best gaming equipment, be sure to take a deep dive into every accessory. No serious gamer would blindly go for the first gaming headset or wireless gaming mouse they come across.
Here are some of the leading HP gaming devices to consider when upgrading your gaming rig.
Top HP gaming gear for serious gaming
Getting the ultimate gaming experience from a standard laptop is challenging. With vibrant graphics, a speedy refresh rate, and a cooling system, users can raise the intensity level of their gaming experience. Lag time and overheating are frustrating, to say the least.
Are you more of a console player or a PC gamer? If you’re the latter, then the OMEN 17 is a popular HP gaming laptop that will pique your interest.
OMEN 17
The
HP OMEN 17 Gaming Laptop eliminates those common issues. It’s built for gamers. Powered by the 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, users get faster performance and more efficient multitasking. Its NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Series GPUs powered by the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture produce speed and graphics perfect for gaming.
The AI-powered graphics enhance the virtual world, adding a lifelike nature to it. Impressive ray tracing and ultra-high FPS gaming make every session an immersive experience. You can also keep up with advancing internet speeds. It’s WiFi 6E compatible, which means improved performance, greater capacity, and lower latencies.
The HP OMEN 17 features Quad High Definition (QHD) resolution using IPS technology. No more dealing with glare either. The anti-glare screen reduces light reflection while the Eyesafe® display protects your eyes. The screen is Eyesafe certified and meets TÜV low blue light standards. Work or game for hours without worsening eye strain.
Get exceptional audio with any headset thanks to the DTS:X® ultra accurate 3D sound technology. Gamers have more audio options by choosing specially tuned audio modes for different game types. The HP dual speakers and HP Audio Boost with custom tuning by Bang & Olufsen add to the fully immersive audio experience.
When you know you have the right PC to handle all your tasks, including hardcore gaming, it’s time to find some PC gaming tools. You won’t have to look far for high-performance gaming gear. No matter how intense the sessions get, HyperX accessories have you covered.
The best gaming headsets should offer reliable connectivity, whether it’s wired or wireless. They should also be comfortable to wear. Pay close attention to the headband and ear cup designs. These three HyperX gaming accessories meet the recommended characteristics expected of a premium headset.
HyperX Cloud Alpha
The
HyperX Alpha wired gaming headset has a signature comfort design and a durable aluminum frame. The dual chamber driver system reduces audio distortion, giving you more balanced bass frequencies from mids to highs. It delivers accurate sound with smoother in-game audio performance.
Trying to stay focused during long gaming sessions, video streams, or workloads is rough without comfortable headwear. The plush signature HyperX comfort memory foam is lightweight, breathable, and built for all-day, over-ear comfort.
HyperX Alpha S
The
HyperX Alpha S gaming headset is another wired headset worth a gamer's attention. The immersive audio is thanks to the HyperX Virtual 7.1 surround sound. The NGENUITY feature works by auto-detecting supported games and selecting the optimal surround sound profile to deliver improved audio immersion.
Users can adjust the game and chat audio levels with ease. No more digging through the in-game audio settings or system menus. The Alpha S headset is Discord and TeamSpeak™ certified to provide clear communication. It features a flexible, detachable mic. The cable is durable, detachable, and water-resistant.
HyperX Alpha
Being absorbed in an intense gaming session requires a worry-free listening experience. The
HyperX Alpha wireless headset gives you freedom of movement and a long-lasting charge. It offers approximately 300 hours of battery life on one charge.
It features DTS Spatial Audio to amp up your immersive audio experience. Precise sound localization and a virtual 3D sound stage coupled with the HyperX Dual Chamber Drivers give gamers an incredible audio experience. The detachable noise-canceling mic with LED light indicator gives you a visual of the mute status.
HyperX gaming microphones
Interactive gaming requires you to communicate with the interface, your opposition, a partner, or a team. A clear gaming mic could mean the difference between getting to the next level or falling behind. Either way, without the right gaming microphone, communicating with other gamers gets more complicated than it has to be.
The prime highlights of a good gaming microphone are variable polar patterns. For instance, cardioid allows users to record directly in front of the mic. That’s perfect for gaming and handy for voice-over, vocals, and streaming.
HyperX QuadCast S
The
HyperX Quadcast S gaming mic features NGENUITY software, giving users customizable options. Personalize the RGB lighting and create dynamic, eye-catching effects for every game style.
The Quadcast S mic includes a built-in anti-vibration shock mount for hyper-intense physical action. Don’t lose communication after every bump or rumble. It has a tap-to-mute sensor with an LED status indicator. You can also optimize your broadcast setup by choosing between four selectable polar patterns - stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, and bidirectional.
HyperX ProCast
The
HyperX ProCast microphone is designed with a professional-grade XLR connection cable. It allows users to plug into any audio platform. It’s built for people who use their voice for work, gaming, or vlogging.
Whether you’re a professional who does voice-overs, a recording artist, or a team captain in gaming tournaments, this mic checks off all the boxes for best-in-class. The ProCast’s large condenser enables higher-frequency details to provide excellent noise performance.
A decent gaming keyboard should meet certain criteria, like ultra-durability and keypress consistency. A gaming keyboard also needs to have a rapid response time and streamlined mechanical switches.
Popular gaming keyboards usually highlight speed and precision. The HyperX line includes high-end gaming keyboards fit for any gamer. Whether you're a novice building your skills or a professional gamer in need of serious equipment, HyperX gaming accessories will fit the bill.
HyperX Alloy Origins
The
HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard is compact, durable, and features RGB backlighting. The full aircraft-grade aluminum body keeps the keyboards structurally sound and stable. Exactly what gamers need when the action intensifies.
In game mode, users get one hundred percent anti-ghosting and N-key rollover. All your keypresses will clearly register so you don’t lose track during key moments. It also features two-step keyboard feet that offer three different angles. Prevent wrist strain by choosing the best angle, 3, 7, or 11 degrees.
HyperX Alloy Elite 2
There are two styles for the
HyperX Alloy Elite 2 gaming keyboards, the
TTT and the
HX Red. Inspired by TimTheTatman, this limited-edition variant is part of the TTT-themed gaming accessories. It’s responsive, reliable, sturdy, and rated for up to 80 million keypresses.
The HyperX Alloy Elite 2 HX Red is a mechanical keyboard with a signature light bar and dynamic RGB lighting effects. It’s built with a large volume wheel and dedicated media keys for Game Mode and different media or profiles.
The key characteristics that a decent gaming mouse should have are a flawless sensor and a super lightweight build. A comfortable size and shape, easy-to-access buttons and scrolling wheel, and outstanding DPI sensitivity are also important.
Without top-level settings, just one slip-up could cost you the game. HyperX gaming mice combine style, comfort, and power in a compact form.

The
HyperX Pulsefire Haste gaming mouse comes in sleek black or white. It’s designed with an ultra-light hex shell for lightweight smooth mobility. The better ventilation and increased airflow lend you that extra speed when you need it. It’s durable and weighs only 59 grams.
