VANGUARD 96 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
A 96% keyboard that makes it 100. CORSAIR’s innovative legacy that began with the legendary, award-winning K70 presents the keyboard of the future. VANGUARD 96 combines years of fan feedback with esports-proven engineering for uncompromising performance and versatility.
Magic in Every Click
Do Virtually Anything
Use Elgato Virtual Stream Deck integration to create clickable shortcuts that can be freely positioned on-screen or accessed via hotkey. Hit the dedicated Virtual Stream Deck Launch Button to instantly summon a Virtual Stream Deck, transforming your VANGUARD 96 into a powerful productivity tool.
Battlestation Innovation
The keyboard of the future is here.
Vibrant LCD Screen
Personalize your keyboard on a whole new level with a brilliant 1.9" 320 x 170 IPS color screen. Display custom animations, images, rotary dial integrations, and more.
Detailed Craftsmanship
The sleek, sculpted aluminum frame perfectly complements the keyboard’s elegantly compact design. The low-profile 6 G-keys are easy to find while remaining tough to accidentally press.
Quad-Layer Sound Dampening
Four layers of sound-dampening foam help reduce unwanted keyboard noise, allowing you to fully enjoy satisfying keypress acoustics.
Hotswappable CORSAIR MLX Switches
Wobble-free CORSAIR MLX keyswitches feature pre-lubricated stems and Fresnel lensing for stunning RGB lighting. Refined for top-tier responsiveness and rated for 80 million keypresses. VANGUARD 96 also supports compatible 3-pin and 5-pin hotswap switches.
Optimally-Compact 96% Form Factor
A full keyboard with arrow keys, a tenkey pad, brilliant LCD screen, 6 programmable G-keys, and a rotary dial—all in a footprint roughly the size of a TKL keyboard.
Stream Deck Launch Key
Hit the dedicated Virtual Stream Deck Launch Button to instantly summon a Virtual Stream Deck. VANGUARD 96 offers utility that other keyboards simply can’t match.
Unmatched Speed
Own the advantage when milliseconds matter most with ultra-responsive 8,000Hz hyper-polling. Eliminate input lag and ensure your in-game actions and stream commands are sent instantaneously.
FlashTap SOCD Technology
With CORSAIR FlashTap SOCD handling, choose how the keyboard manages accidental SOCD inputs so you can execute complex movement techniques with confidence.
