From The Verge: HP has announced a fleet of new gaming accessories, including new gaming mice and HP’s very first wireless 2.4GHz gaming headset. Even though all of today’s announcements have features that are geared primarily toward gamers, there’s a strange split between the products with HP’s refreshed Omen branding, like the mice, and the simply HP-branded headset.
The new gaming mice are the $49 Omen Vector and the $29 Omen Vector Essential. Both are wired models that weigh 88g and have six buttons. The Omen Vector is its higher-end option of the two, featuring an Omen Radar 3 sensor (derived from the PixArt PMW3389) with up to 16,000 DPI sensitivity. The Vector Essential has the Omen Radar 1 sensor (built with the PixArt PAW3327) that tops out at 7,200 DPI sensitivity. The Omen Vector has more LEDs and features a textured rubber grip on the side, whereas the Vector Essential is plastic all over. Otherwise, as shown in the image slider below, they’re very similar to each other.
The Vector comes with 25g of extra weights, and with all the 5g weights added into the bottom of the Vector, it can weigh as much as 113g. HP’s new high-end mouse will release in June, and the Vector Essential will follow in July.
