A fix for this has been landed upstream (v250) for HP Omen 15 and another fix for Omen 17:

I has Calculator key, this key is actual normal media key. Pressing on it launches calculator only once, after the OS is booted. No reaction for other presses. If I run xev and press Calculator I see infinitely many messages about pressing and releasing XF86Calculator key: ... KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 52918, (151,-96), root:(151,806), state 0x14, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 52918, (151,-96), root:(151,806), state 0x14, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 52958, (151,-96), root:(151,806), state 0x14, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 52958, (151,-96), root:(151,806), state 0x14, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001, root 0x29e, subw 0x0, time 52999, (151,-96), root:(151,806), state 0x14, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ... Then I press Ctrl-C to stop this stream. This happens only once after the system is booted, next runs of xev don't show any events after pressing this key. If I run showkey, it always shows scan codes and key codes for that key: $ sudo showkey -s kb mode was ?UNKNOWN? [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work since the X server is also reading /dev/console ] press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)... 0x9c 0xe0 0x21 0x1d ^Ccaught signal 2, cleaning up... 0xe0 0x21 $ sudo showkey -k kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?

Debugging with evtest shows that this key doesn't generate any events, while some other keys do: sudo evtest No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event* Available devices: /dev/input/event0: Power Button /dev/input/event1: Lid Switch /dev/input/event2: Power Button /dev/input/event3: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard /dev/input/event4: Video Bus /dev/input/event5: HP WMI hotkeys /dev/input/event6: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3 /dev/input/event7: SONiX USB Keyboard /dev/input/event8: SONiX USB Keyboard Consumer Control /dev/input/event9: SONiX USB Keyboard System Control /dev/input/event10: PixArt Dell MS116 USB Optical Mouse /dev/input/event11: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=7 /dev/input/event12: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=8 /dev/input/event13: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=9 /dev/input/event14: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=10 /dev/input/event15: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=11 /dev/input/event16: SYNA32A5:00 06CB:CE17 Mouse /dev/input/event17: SYNA32A5:00 06CB:CE17 Touchpad /dev/input/event18: HD-Audio Generic Mic /dev/input/event19: HD-Audio Generic Headphone /dev/input/event20: HP Wide Vision HD Camera: HP Wi /dev/input/event21: WI-XB400 (AVRCP) Select the device event number [0-21]: 5 Input driver version is 1.0.1 Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0 Input device name: "HP WMI hotkeys" Supported events: Event type 0 (EV_SYN) Event type 1 (EV_KEY) Event code 138 (KEY_HELP) Event code 141 (KEY_SETUP) Event code 148 (KEY_PROG1) Event code 153 (KEY_DIRECTION) Event code 184 (KEY_F14) Event code 185 (KEY_F15) Event code 186 (KEY_F16) Event code 187 (KEY_F17) Event code 224 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN) Event code 225 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP) Event code 226 (KEY_MEDIA) Event code 240 (KEY_UNKNOWN) Event code 358 (KEY_INFO) Event type 4 (EV_MSC) Event code 4 (MSC_SCAN) Event type 5 (EV_SW) Event code 1 (SW_TABLET_MODE) state 0 Event code 5 (SW_DOCK) state 0 Properties: Testing ...
