How to remap OMEN key

[PEPS_90]

I really finds this annoying after all the complaining people have done that after all these years HP didn't provide a solution.
I am also wondering if this can be reported as a law violation, since as browser are forced to ask you what browser engine to use (google, bing, duckduckgo etc.) why can HP set a button to automatically opens its own useless Omen app ?

How is it possible that after all these years no solution has been provided by HP?
How is it possible that when I contacted the assistance they closed my case without any answer?
I am really disappointed. 
If anyone knows a solution, even a hack, to remap that useless Omen button I would be happy to read it, since I need that key for my daily working, probably a thing that engineers in some companies are not used to do...

HI @PEPS_90,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand your frustration with the inability to customize the OMEN key on your HP laptop. Here is the step you can try and let me know if this helps.

But I've found a solution to how to return the Home button.

.

1. Download a program, Microsoft PowerToys from Microsoft Store. It's free.

2. Go to "Keyboard Manager" -> "Remap a key"

3. Choose a button next to Omen Gaming Pub, replace it with Home.

4. (optional) Choose a button next after that button, replace it with End.

(see screenshot)
.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Thanks for replying but that does not solve my problem. 
My issue is that on a notebook keyboard that by default has few keys, one of them has been hijacked to open an useless HP application.
That Omen button was intentionally designed by HP to be not discovered and remapped by the user, I have no words to describe my disappointment.
How a team could even think such a design to clearly irritate the customers, just to promote their useless APP ?
THIS IS NOT SOLVED UNTIL HP OFFERS A REAL SOLUTION TO IT.

This is not an accepted solution, this issue is well known , there are plenty of threads about it but HP is not keen to give this any priority, Since it's more than 5 years that HP produces notebook with this hacked key.

I don't understand the reason for the HP Omen keyboard layout. I don't like anything that a ctrl is missing to the right, the shape of the return key is awkward (why not make it vertical?) But the Home key is outrageous. I'm very angry
