Top-tier functionality

The Corsair Vanguard 96 MLX Plasma Switch keyboard offers advanced capabilities that noticeably exceed expectations for an affordably priced model. At its core are linear MLX Plasma mechanical switches rated for 80 million keystrokes. Hot Swap technology allows you to change the characteristics of individual keys or quickly replace faulty switches without soldering. The keyboard is compatible with various types of 3-pin switches.

An 8000 Hz polling rate ensures virtually instant command transmission, which is especially useful in fast-paced shooters and fighting games where every millisecond matters. The built-in memory stores five settings profiles, while additional G-keys allow you to switch between them quickly. These buttons also support macro assignments and other custom actions.

A dedicated key launches the virtual Stream Deck interface, providing access to the capabilities of a full-fledged physical console. Detailed customization is available through PC software, a web service, or the VIA utility. FlashTap SOCD technology is provided for fans of CS2 and other competitive games, making precise counter-strafing easier.

Comfort with room for the future

The compact 96% format retains the numeric keypad and essential function keys without taking up extra desk space. The well-designed keycap shape makes typing comfortable, while the removable wrist rest enhances comfort during extended gaming sessions. Memory foam supports the wrists and reduces strain on the hands.

The keycaps are made of durable PBT plastic that is resistant to wear and scuffing. The upper metal plate increases structural rigidity and protects internal components from accidental damage and excessively hard presses. Four layers of damping materials reduce noise, vibrations, and unpleasant case resonance, so the keyboard does not disturb those around you.

The model's striking appearance is complemented by signature Corsair iCUE lighting with Fresnel lenses. The built-in color IPS display can show animations and useful information. Together with the multifunction rotary dial, it allows quick control of various keyboard and system settings.
