== Input Devices == | |||
{{CheckAI}} | |||
=== [[Keyboard]] === | |||
The HP Omen 16 (2023) features a full-size keyboard with customizable per-key RGB backlighting, four-zone RGB backlighting, or single-zone white backlighting. The keys feel great for gaming, with no rollover issues, allowing multiple key presses to register simultaneously. The keyboard features a macro key area, but the placement of the delete key is inconvenient for left-handed users, as it is located near the power button.<ref name="matthewmoniz" /><ref name="pcmag" /> | |||
The typing experience is pleasant overall, with decent key travel and a satisfying bounce. The keys are slightly smaller than typical, particularly with short caps lock and enter keys.<ref name="toms">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hp-omen-16-2023 |title=HP Omen 16 (2023) Review |publisher=Tom's Hardware}}</ref> | |||
=== [[Touchpad]] === | |||
The HP Omen 16 (2023) comes with a plastic touchpad that measures {{convert|12.5|cm|in}} x {{convert|8|cm|in}}. The touchpad is accurate enough for general use, but it is made of plastic, which may not feel as premium. The sticker placement on the touchpad is poorly executed, leading to a messy appearance.<ref name="matthewmoniz" /><ref name="toms" /> | |||
The touchpad's click feel was not satisfactory, which detracted from the overall experience.<ref name="toms" /> | |||
=== [[Webcam]] === | |||

Touchpad
The HP Omen 16 (2023) comes with a plastic touchpad that measures 12.5 centimetres (4.9 in) x 8 centimetres (3.1 in).
