Corsair Vanguard PRO 96

A Magnet for Enthusiasts

The Corsair Vanguard PRO 96 keyboard is designed for demanding gamers and enthusiasts who value flexible settings and fast response times. The model is based on CORSAIR MGX Hyperdrive (MGX V2) magnetic switches. They allow you to adjust the actuation point from 0.1 to 4 mm, use FlashTap SOCD Handling and Rapid Trigger modes, and assign multiple actions to a single key depending on press depth. These features are especially useful in fast-paced shooters and simulators where maximum control precision is essential. The switches operate quite quietly, while multi-layer sound insulation further reduces noise levels. The stated switch lifespan reaches 150 million keystrokes, and Hot Swap support makes replacement easier. The keyboard is suitable for various use cases, but its capabilities are primarily designed for gaming and competitive play. An 8000 Hz polling rate ensures minimal delay when transmitting commands. The model comes in a compact 96% full-size layout and weighs slightly over 1 kg, so it may not suit everyone as a portable solution.

Control System

Settings are saved in the keyboard's built-in memory and remain available regardless of the computer used. Six additional keys are located on the left: five of them can be assigned to macros and other commands, while a separate button is responsible for gaming mode. Configuration is performed through a cloud service, so there is no need to install separate software. One of the model's main features is its built-in display and multifunction wheel. They allow you to change key parameters during gameplay, adjust volume and backlighting, and display your own logo on the screen. An additional button is designed to open the virtual Stream Deck menu. For more comfortable use, the package includes a wrist rest with soft padding and magnetic attachment.
