Omen Sequencer Compatability with PS5

[_RedDead]

I am using my reliable HP Omen Sequencer for a while now with my PC. But, it doesn't connect with the PS5. PS5 detects it as a keyboard but it doesn't simply works. 

I believe it's an issue with the keyboard's internal software or maybe I am wrong. Any help will be appriciated as I don't have any other options besides using this keyboard.

Hi @_RedDead,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It's not uncommon for certain keyboards designed primarily for PC use to have compatibility issues with gaming consoles like the PS5. Incompatibility can arise due to differences in hardware protocols and software configurations between PCs and gaming consoles.

Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue.

• Firmware Update: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your HP Omen Sequencer keyboard. HP often releases updates to improve compatibility with various devices.
• Compatibility Mode: Some keyboards have compatibility modes or switches that allow them to work better with gaming consoles. Check the user manual or the HP website to see if your keyboard has such a feature and how to activate it.
• USB Port: Try using different USB ports on your PS5. Sometimes, certain USB ports may provide better compatibility than others.
• Reset Keyboard: Reset the keyboard to its factory settings. This can often resolve any configuration issues that may be causing compatibility problems.
• Third-Party Adapters: As a last resort, you could consider using third-party adapters or converters designed to bridge the connection between PC peripherals and gaming consoles. However, be cautious when using such adapters as they may not work reliably with all devices and could potentially cause damage.

By following these steps, you should hopefully be able to resolve the compatibility issue with your HP Omen Sequencer keyboard and your PS5.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
