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

So my ONLY complaint about this otherwise awesome mouse pad is the description. In the description (at least at the time I write this review), one of the bullet points is Qi wireless charging - Charge your wireless gaming mouse and Qi-enabled devices such as smartphones while you play The key words I read there, and lets see if others think the same, was the While you play. So here I am thinking, Oh wow, so this pad can keep my wireless mouse charged while I play! Awesome! So I ordered this as a bundle with the HP Omen mouse, which has yet to be shipped (thanks, COVID), excited that I can finally ditch the cord and game for long bits of time without having to worry about the mouse dying in the middle of a tense gaming moment. Unfortunately, when I unboxed the pad, I found that this mouse pad only has a small charging spot for devices, with room enough for one device to sit on. It does work. My phone is charging on it as we speak. But my hopes of having an actual pad surface that keeps a mouse charged DURING gaming again went up in smoke. So I am now back to knowing there are no pads like that out there. Still, thinking this was the first pad that could do that, I bought it, and I am still somewhat okay with the purchase. While my main purpose was the expectations I ranted about above, the pad itself IS a very nice pad to have. Its HUGE, so do NOT expect this to be a portable hard surface you can pack with your laptop and take with you. You will NOT be doing that. But for at home on a desk or table, this pad provides a large, nice surface to play on. It also lights up nicely and with the HP Omen software can be customized on the lighting. I do have to point out that if you do not have the matching wireless mouse to go with this pad, and end up using a corded mouse, the cord WILL catch on a device you might have charging while you are moving the mouse around. So the wireless charge spot is only useful if you use this with a wireless mouse. I will not be wireless until Amazon ships the mouse I ordered with this. Would I recommend this pad? YES! I actually would. I just wanted to write this review to let readers know in detail NOT to expect a surface that charges your wireless mouse while you play, as the description leads you to believe. Cheers.

This thing is a peice of junk, takes up a ton of space, doesn’t roll up it’s a solid slab, gets dirty easily, QI doesn’t even work, unnecessary wire

I love using my mouse with the qi charger

Ive tried dozens of gaming mice, both tethered and wireless. They all have their positives and negatives and this one is no exception. What I like the most about the Omen is the hand comfort. It truly cradles your hand and I love that it has removable wings to rest your thumb and pinky on--a great feature. The mouse is incredibly precise and has zero connection issues (such a big deal as Ive used some wireless Razer mice that would drop connection at the worst possible times). I also love that I can charge it on the same Qi charging pad I use for my iPhone and Airpods. Everything can plop onto the same surface! Fantastic! The only thing I dont love about the Omen Photon is that it doesnt give you a low battery notification. Would love to see this implemented in Windows 10s Notification Center. Sometimes I forget to drop it onto the Qi charger and it craps out mid-day. Other than the notification issue, this is a fantastic mouse that I have no hesitation giving 5 glowing stars to!

This is a serious mouse for serious gamers. From the moment you take it out of the box, you can tell. It’s a big, heavy mouse with unlimited potential to make it a perfect fit for the individual user. Things that I felt were noteworthy: · It’s wireless, of course. I charged it with a standard wireless charger I had around (QI certified) with no problem. I saw where there is a special charging pad available, which those who spend large amounts of time might want to consider; you would never run out of power! · It does have a micro-USB adapter (port is on the front). · The dongle for it is nice and small. · You can adjust your DPI during use. As you make selections, the color on the mouse changes. Kind of cool. · You can’t adjust the length, but the flanges on the sides are removable. I happen to like the flanges, as I tend to use a “claw grip” when I’m using the mouse. With the flanges in place, I don’t get that irritating thumb drag. And the flanges are different sizes and changeable depending on whether you’re left or right handed. · Out of the box, the 2 buttons on the left side are already installed. I added an extra 2 on the right side (all parts included) to give me the full 11 button options. This mouse is smooth. I don’t think I’ve ever used one quite like it. Again, if you’re serious about gaming, this mouse may be for you.

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.

For me, this mouse is very comfortable and the tactile feedback from all the buttons is about the best Ive experienced, especially the side buttons. Being able to charge the mouse with a small qi charging pad is great also. I would have given five stars except for the fact that the side buttons dont produce a repetitive signal when held down so, when gaming, I have to be careful what functions I assign. Overall, its one of my favorite mice (I like to rotate mice and have about 4 or 5 connected at all times, set for left handed use).

I bought it for $50 instead of $130 and have no complaints. Have an HP OMEN laptop and like the fact I can use the Omen Light app to sync the keyboard and mouse lighting. If you see it for sale, its pretty great.

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

Overall the product is exactly as described, after trying a number of other devices over the years this one has performed very well so far.
