There are already too many competitors in this market space. HP find something more profitable. No one is going to by HP gaming gear compared to what the others offer. Just bundle this with your gaming PC's and leave it there.
Kudos to the comment and completely agree they want to buy gaming hence the Omen in naming and Alien well, they got ample place to plop their "high performance gear for high performance system"
for everyone else, do we REALLY need yet more $%^#$% on the shelf "Just because it is HP" hells no, custom order for like $2 ship direct to customer (3rd party i.e Amazon initiated sale, so no on gets cut from making their profits, but HP, direct to customer are "fair value" is ok as well
HP are masters of scale. They will make a million of these gaming products, sell maybe 100k at retail, and the other 900k will end up being liquidated for near nothing, the same way all of their products eventually end up. Because of the margins of scale, they break even after selling the initial 100k, perhaps earlier.
This is why you find NOS 2017-2018 model HP Elitebooks that used to retail for a thousand bucks on eBay for $250. And even the new ones lose value insanely fast. Dell and Lenovo are the same way, but neither have as large of a presence in the USA as HP. Lenovo is huge in Asia, which is why HP and Lenovo are always neck and neck for global sales king.
The logo looks like a tramp stamp. 99$ mouse pad? GTFOH! Horrible quality products. They used to be good. Unfortunately in the race to the bottom, they're in the top 3. I'll avoid and spend less money for good product elsewhere.
Uh Oh. Ive verbally injured a fanboi! Obviously I havent used the unreleased products. I have on the other hand used there past and current products quite extensively. Both corporate and personal. As already stated THEY USED TO BE GOOD.
Keep cherry picking and ignore the rest of my post, and by all means defend a 99$ mouse pad. LOL

I wish I could up vote your comment.Typical large corporation with no clue about market, because they don't actually talk to customers.
