OMEN by HP Photon Wireless Gaming Mouse with Qi Wireless Charging, Programmable Buttons, Custom RGB, E-Sport DPI (6CL96AA)

I started having issues with the mouse out of the box. It started as minor cosmetic issues (I would select what color Id like the OMEN logo to be from within the command center, and it would last no more from 5-10 minutes before it would chose which color to be on its own)... about a month into having the mouse the real issues started. Seemingly out of nowhere, the actual functionality of the mouse goes down the drain. Sometimes its the right-click function, sometimes its the left-click, sometimes the scroll wheel will not work, and the DPI of the mouse will randomly be reduced a significant amount to the point where I cant play with it. If an HP representative reads this, PLEASE contact me for a replacement

· This is a gaming mouse but I’m using it as my only mouse which means 90% general use. It’s precise and comfortable for everyday use. I used a Logitech MX Revolution mouse as my daily mouse previously and this could be a replacement for everyday use. · The detachable magnetized thumb rests seemed a little gimmicky but they lock in securely. I use the mouse with both thumb rests. · Seems like the only way to get the Omen Command Center drivers is through the Microsoft store, not HP’s site. There was Command Center Software but it seemed to be only for the PC’s which was confusing and I lost interest trying to figure it out. If I can search the model and find the drivers on HP support then whatev. The mouse works without the Omen software but you need it to program the buttons. · The logo on the mouse changes colors which means I’m serious about gaming because…colors.

Got this for gaming laptop

Battery life was pretty much none existent as soon as removed from cord it would only last 20 minutes

got a wireless charging mouse from a work sales contest but needed a charger. found this. nice mousepad. glides smooth. the wireless charger itself is small. very very small. gotta be right on it. it works great tho. mouse has to be OFF to charge. but it does work. mainly use the charger for my phone while i game. i like it

Finally, a wireless gaming mouse that equals the performance of a wired one. this mouse is fast. The estimated battery life is an impressive fifty hours. This seems accurate and it charges via any Qi-enabled surface. The lights and buttons are programmable. The finger rests are removable and the mouse is ambidextrous. It takes some playing around to find what conformation suits you best. Dedicated gamers will find the eleven different buttons useful; I found them gratuitous. I enjoy games but am not rabid. My brothers however are and absolutely adored this mouse. It is a pricey proposition especially if you spring for the related mousepad. But the convenience of fewer cables and superior performance makes this a winner.

Feels very strange. I bought this because I have big hands and need something that will support my ring and pinky finger. It does do this but just feels cramped. Hard to charge wirelessly. Have to be in certain spot. Easier to charge with cord.

I got this so I wouldnt need any extra wires on my setup and could utilize my phones wireless charger to keep it charged. It was a bit buggy on my hp omen 30l build but no issues since moving onto a Asus motherboard. Never realized how much Id enjoy using a mouse with wings but it makes it super comfortable.

seemed great a t first but it has random periods where it has major lag. Seconds of lag. Its really ridiculous. It seems to occur less often if the mouse is plugged in to USB but it does still occur. I have tried this on multiple computers running win 10 and win 11 and it acts exactly the same on all of them. It doesnt matter fi the usb plug-inis inches or feet away from the mouse. Worthless.

Ive been a fan of the omen line-up for a while now. The design language is very hit or miss but boy is it a hit for me. Ive been a fan of their futuristic spaceship look with the sharp angles and black brushed accent pieces every since my omen x17 laptop. I had the reactor wired mouse and while it was very well built, the metal cord was a bit of a drag for me... Literally, it felt like an awesome mouse but having to pull on a metal cable just wasnt sure doing it for me. The photon wireless mouse takes care of several issues. The build quality is superb, its rock solid and has very crisp and bright led zones (on the omen logo and scroll wheel). The mouse also comes with magnetic sides and buttons to accommodate several shapes and button layout. The mouse shape it similar to the reactor minus the adjustable hump, which is a shame because I loved that feature. With that being said, the mouse is still very comfortable. It feels Very nice in the hand and the ambidextrous shape makes it easy for lefties and righties, just swap buttons to your liking and youre good to go. The mouse pairs effortlessly and luckily comes with a small usb dongle like the logitech ones instead of some absurd gigantic dock/receiver combo. I have a few other logitech wireless mice and this is right up there with them when it comes to performance. If you have a wireless charging pads, you could also leverage the qi charging so that you technically never have to plug it in. There are a few things which I personally would have liked to see on this. The mouse is heavier than Id like. I tend to favor lighter mice when gaming (83g g305) So I would have liked it to be a rad lighter, it clocked in at 121 grams on my scale. Its not a deal breaker as I use a g903 and mx master 2s which both weight the same or a bit more. I would have also loved to keep the adjustable hump, that was a really nice feature. Overall the mouse is built well with solid components and features. Definitely another solid competitor in the wireless mice market. Thoroughly impressed, but not surprised, by omen.
