What is the HP Omen Sequencer?
The Omen Sequencer is an absolute beast of a keyboard, immediately cementing itself as a welcome member of HP’s family of gaming peripherals. Boasting optical switches with a “speed you can feel”, according to HP, the sequencer feels immediately intuitive to use with its host of cool aesthetic features that compliment the rest of the Omen range.
Other gaming keyboards, such as the Razer Huntsman Elite, also support these new-fangled optical switches while simultaneously giving the Sequencer a run for its money. However, are they enough to help this device stand out from the crowd? After spending a week with it, it’s time for us to find out.
HP Omen Sequencer – Design and build
The HP Omen range of gaming products has already impressed with the Omen Reactor, a gaming mouse that boasted a healthy mix of striking visual hallmarks and a decent number of mechanical features. The same praise can be lauded upon the Sequencer.
First up, it’s far heavier than your usual gaming keyboard. So much so, that hurling this into a nearby window would likely do some damage. While offering a sturdy foundation for the keys to rest upon, the base is an unattractive part of an otherwise luscious keyboard.

The RGB lighting on display here is excellent, offering plenty of room for different presets
That being said, the HP Omen Sequencer certainly stands alongside other factors to provide the premium feel you’d expect from a £149.99 keyboard. The anodized plate gives way to a slew of optical keys that look gorgeous when enhanced with my personal choice of RGB lighting schemes, but we’ll touch on that more later.
