Unfortunately no. Its physically limited to red.

 

Yep its a few years old now, but even though it has no RGB control, its still a solid setup.

But you will have to watch out now for the battery. Chances are a little high that if you run it a long time on battery only and the battery heats up any, it might bulge. So I would not use it for prolonged amounts of time on battery only (like from 100% down to 25%.  Game while plugged in and you should be good to go.

 

Not saying yours will have it happen, but the risk is a little greater than some other laptops.

Just so you are aware. My opinion.

Hello @d333gs 

 

Correct. That series of Omen does not use the Omen Control or the Omen Command Center software.

Ok, Is there any way I can control the keyboard colors?

Big thanks
