Corsair has announced the new VANGUARD PRO 96 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard and VANGUARD 96 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, both featuring Elgato Virtual Stream Deck, programmable keys and 8,000Hz hyper-polling.
The keyboards features smooth-actuating CORSAIR MLX or MGX switches, making them ideal for both gaming and productivity purposes. The MGX Hyperdrive Hall Effect Magnetic
Switches deliver improved responsiveness and reliability, positioned over RGB lighting, customisable using the Corsair Web Hub.


Both Vanguard Pro 96 keyboards include Elgate Stream Deck and Virtual Stream Deck integration. The Stream Deck app can be used to create Virtual Stream Deck profiles for each game they play, allowing for fast access to hotkeys and speeding up responses within games.
The 8,000Hz hyper-polling, along with the Corsair Rapid Trigger, also contributes to increased responsiveness and speed within games. Additionally, the actuation point of the switches can be adjusted, along with the capability for dual activation point switching.
The Vanguard 960 keyboards include an integrated 320×170 colour LCD screen, allowing for even more customisation and personalisation from within the Corsair Web Hub.



VANGUARD PRO 96 and VANGUARD 96 are now available from the CORSAIR webstore and authorised retailers for:
- CORSAIR VANGUARD 96: RRP $249
- CORSAIR VANGUARD PRO 96: RRP $349
