Our Verdict

HP OMEN Photon

HP OMEN Vector Wireless

The HP OMEN Vector Wireless and the HP OMEN Photon are both wireless gaming mice. The Vector Wireless is significantly lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. On the other hand, the Photon has modular finger rests and side buttons you can configure to transform the shape to better suit a right or left-handed user. With all of its buttons installed, it has five more buttons than the Vector Wireless, including a pair of side buttons on both sides. The Photon also has a scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons, which the Vector Wireless lacks.
