Other Features:

One of the really nice features of this keyboard is the n-key rollover that promises 100% anti-ghosting. This will make sure that every key that is pressed will be detected regardless of how fast you hit the keys or if you hit more than one key simultaneously. This is a great feature for gamers.

Backlighting: The keyboard provides red LED backlighting on all the keys which will help you to find the right keys every time. And the keyboard looks really cool with the red lights coming through.

Verdict:

The Omen Encoder Gaming Mechanical Keyboard by HP is a great option if you want a mechanical gaming keyboard. With anti-ghosting ensured through the use of the n-key rollover, you can hit the keys as fast as you want and still have them all detected.

I really like the red backlighting is it just gives a nice look to the keyboard and it helps you find the keys you need. The cables are quite durable and are not as likely to kink up with the braided covering. I”m not big on paying a ton of money for products but compared to other mechanical gaming keyboards, $99.99 is fairly reasonable.

The Omen Encoder Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a solid choice for a mechanical gaming keyboard. The customization, adjustable legs, lighting, and the n-rollover option are not all of the features available. At around $100, it is reasonably priced with looking at comparable options available.
