Product Description

The CORSAIR VANGUARD 96 combines full-size functionality with a compact 96% layout designed for gaming, streaming and productivity.

CORSAIR MLX Fusion mechanical switches provide a tactile typing feel with a 40g actuation force, 2.0mm actuation point and 3.4mm total travel. The pre-lubricated switches are rated for 80 million keystrokes.

Ultra-responsive 8,000Hz hyper-polling helps reduce input latency during fast-paced gaming.

The keyboard features an integrated 1.9-inch IPS colour LCD screen with a 320 × 170 resolution for displaying custom images, animations and rotary dial information.

Six dedicated low-profile programmable G-keys provide quick access to macros and shortcuts. Native Elgato Stream Deck integration allows Stream Deck actions to be mapped directly to these keys, while a dedicated Stream Deck launch button provides fast access to Virtual Stream Deck.

FlashTap SOCD technology provides configurable handling of simultaneous opposing directional inputs.

The VANGUARD 96 supports hot-swappable compatible 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing the typing experience to be further customized.

Four layers of sound-dampening foam help reduce unwanted keyboard noise, while the sculpted aluminium frame provides a rigid premium foundation.

CORSAIR Web Hub enables browser-based lighting customization, key remapping and macro programming without requiring a full software installation.
