HP HyperX Omen Ups Its Game With a Cutting-Edge OLED, Leverless Controller and More
There are several bright spots in HP’s gaming announcements at CES 2026.
HP’s gaming gear for CES 2026 doesn’t bristle with jaw-dropping announcements, but there are a few that stand out, including a monitor incorporating a new Samsung V-Stripe OLED panel and a first-for-HP leverless game controller.
The company dropped a brief mention of a partnership with Neurable for a new HyperX headset, as part of its CES announcements. The headset will most likely be similar to the one HP developed in conjunction with Master and Dynamic, the MW75 Neuro LT. Though Neurable «envision(s) a future where brain-computer interfaces are as ubiquitous as smartphones,» these will likely not plug into your head.
In what I think is a smart move, HP has decided to merge its Omen and HyperX gaming products into a single line under the HyperX banner, while retaining Omen as a sub-brand of HyperX. In other words, laptops, displays and other Omen products will now be branded as HyperX Omen; previous HyperX devices remain as HyperX. This consolidation is equivalent to Dell letting its G series gaming laptops die quietly and moving all its gaming under Alienware in recent years.

HP is also releasing its first leverless arcade controller, the Xbox-licensed HyperX Clutch Tachi. Albeit a bit late to the game, it’s ostensibly the first to incorporate Tunneling Magnetoresistance switches for the buttons (like Hall Effect controls, TMR is magnetism based, but uses a different sensing technique). Current competitors frequently use TMR technology for sticks.
On the other hand, not so late to the market, the new 34-inch HyperX Omen OLED 34 is one of the first to incorporate Samsung’s recently announced V-Stripe QD-OLED panel — LG’s competing subpixel arrangement is RGB Stripe. Both are intended to rectify the artifacts that plague the rendering of few-pixels-wide elements with earlier OLED technologies, which can make things like text difficult to read. Basic specs include 3,440×1,440 resolution at 360Hz refresh and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. And there’s a headphone hook.
Most notable among the gaming laptops, the HyperX Omen Max 16, which comes in Intel- or AMD-based versions, is novel for its high-polling-rate (how frequently it sends a signal) keyboard: 1,000Hz. While that speed has become relatively common for external gaming keyboards, it’s more rare for gaming laptops. HP has also reworked the cooling design of the system, which should help eke out more performance from the high-end configurations.
The laptop generally ships with an AI-happy processor like AMD’s Ryzen AI Max, so HP’s pairing it with a beta of a new utility, Omen AI, its own one-click settings optimization tool for the system and support games.
All these devices are slated to ship in the spring. No pricing is available yet.

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers
Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?
The answer is already here — eSIM.
Why eSIM Is So Convenient
eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel
Now your internet travels with you.
