The switches on the Vanguard Pro 96 have a 4.0mm travel distance, but you can adjust them in the Corsair software to hit anywhere from 4.0mm to 0.1mm.

It’s quite simply one of the best sounding gaming keyboards I’ve tested so far, even though it’s a bit clackier than I would usually prefer. And while a mass-produced keyboard like this one can never compete with hand-built and hand-lubed boards, I absolutely had no issues using this one for work and productivity.

Immediate highlights of this keyboard include a very responsive actuation and comfortable typing experience along with adjustable actuation points which you can tweak within Corsair's web hub, rapid trigger which you can also turn on and the sensitivity of, flash tap which you can use for jiggle peeking and side strafing. More on all these things later on in the video.

To be crystal clear, both versions of the Vanguard 96 feature the aforementioned, extremely snazzy Stream Deck integration. Chuck in the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE MMO mouse—which also features Stream Deck integration—and that's a ludicrous amount of buttons to play with.

In fact, as I type this right now, I am having a little mental happy dance at how fantastic these keys feel under my hands. And by god, the clicky, wobble-free Corsair MLX mechanical switch sounds are divine.

So, yeah, I'm excited to check this out. And also, this is one of Corsair's first keyboards that has um removable key switches. So, I'm really excited about that according to the documentation. Anyway, so let's find out if that is true. Oh, looks like it does include a key keycap puller and a switch puller in the box and a cable and a manual. And so, yeah, could be should be good there.

The screen is a great addition that I’m definitely going to have fun with (as you can tell).

Underneath the surface, Corsair packs in some serious technology with their MGX hyperdrive hall effect switches. These are a major leap forward in mechanical key switches. They're designed to be fast, responsive, and smooth, offering a wobble-free typing experience.

The keycaps are double shot PBT keycaps, so you really know it will last longer and never fades. That's The switches that were included in this keyboard are the Corsair MLX bolts, which gives a talky sound. More of it is on the keyboard sound test. The font and subfunctions are readable enough for me, but there's no lightning that will pass through the function keys.

And I think this is a good benefit, especially for me, because I do use this keyboard both for work and play. And I do use number pads quite a bit with my work. But I do like the size of the T TKL motherboard. And this is like the best of both worlds. And if I compare it to my other keyboard that is a full-size Razor Huntsman, I'll put it up here. And you can notice a big size difference.

If you are a Stream Deck addict who needs G-Keys and wants the latest in switch technology, this board delivers on performance. But be warned: you are paying a premium for a plastic build, and you will have to wrestle with a software suite that currently feels like it's fighting against you rather than working for you.

H How-To Geek Patrick Campanale · reviewer

Overall, Corsair could have done a MUCH better job with the screen on this keyboard. As it stands, it’s more distracting than anything else. I don’t want a graphic or moving image on my keyboard. Make the screen useful, or just leave it off next time.
