CORSAIR’s VANGUARD 96 pulls off the astonishing feat of shrinking a full keyboard with arrow keys, a tenkey pad, an LCD screen, rotary dial, and 6 programmable G-keys into a super-compact frame. Featuring wobble-free pre- lubricated CORSAIR MLX switches, it’s also hotswappable, supporting compatible 3-pin and 5-pin switches. The stunning LCD screen takes keyboard personalization to the next level with animations, stats, and game integration support. Quadlayer sound dampening provides satisfying keypress acoustics, and 8,000Hz hyper-polling delivers lightning-fast inputs. VANGUARD 96 also features Elgato Virtual Stream Deck integration, FlashTap SOCD handling, and easy customization via our web-based utility, CORSAIR Web Hub.

Absolutely amazing keyboard. It has had no connectivity problems, the switches sound like heaven, the wheel is an amazing utility. This may be the best keyboard you can get for this price! The overall customization ability in it alone makes it a solid 4/5 but that volume/brightness/whatever you want wheel makes it perfect!

Absolute best keyboard upgrade in a while. It's got everything going for it. New features like snap tap (called something else on this) and the numpad if thats something necessary while also taking up less space. Absolutely goated pre-lubed switches too, stabilizer bars are quite good as well

I've been using it for a couple weeks and it feels amazing the response is top notch very audible when I punch with my fingers and I like that. Surprisingly the palm pad is fantastic I've never used one before but this one feels perfectly comfortable. Love the left side button to turn off certain keys and key combinations and the screen is great I chose it to display the time. The multifunction knob I use just default for volume and it works with my powered DAC I am running my headphones through. The build of the keyboard is solid and sturdy its a beast.

Pros: - 96% format: I've got to have a numpad for productivity but also enjoy the space savings for my mouse when gaming. - Best feeling and sounding keys I've ever felt out of the box. My typing accuracy is much higher. - The macro buttons on the side of the frame prevents me from thinking G5 is CTRL when typing. - Corsair Webhub is a pro and a con. It's nice for when I'm traveling so I don't have to bog down my laptop with Icue just for a keyboard. I still use Icue for my desktop PC at home. - Build quality feels great. - I don't plan on swapping the switches but the ability to remove them for deep cleaning is a plus. Cons: - The screen is a fun touch but in the end it's really a gimmick and not useful. The screen should be raised up and/or tilted as the keycaps obstruct the view of the screen unless you lean over your keyboard. It also doesn't help that toggles like caps lock and num lock are represented on the screen, not by an easily visible indicator light somewhere on the keyboard or by a keycap changing color indicating that it is active. - Corsair Webhub. As of right now, Binding macros or keystrokes to the G keys just doesn't work. I got one macro to work a single time (and after troubleshooting, I still can't figure out why). If you want G keys to work you will need the elgato stream deck software which defeats the whole purpose of having the web based app in the first place. Hopefully this gets fixed as it shouldn't even be an option on the webhub if it doesn't work. - Not much of a con but a noteworthy tradeoff is the right shift key is shortened because of the compact form factor. TLDR I've tried razer, roccat, and older generation corsair keyboards and this one by far is my favorite for form factor, build quality, and key quality. The webhub needs some work (macros not working) and the screen is overall a gimmick.

Feels great but keys constantly produce multiple strokes for certain characters. For example, my 'J' almost ALWAYS gives almost 2 outputs (as in "jj" instead of "j") if I press it any slower than absolute max speed. I can easily have it output even 3 - 4 j's if I wanted to. In fact, I've had to go back and correct 7 typos in this review so far. I wish this was an isolated case. I unfortunately convinced my father to get another Corsair keyboard and he has the same issue with his 'a'. Corsair keyboards can simply NOT be trusted anymore. What a shame.

Build quility is premium, feeling and key apps are premium too. Unfortunately I cannot say he same about the firmware and software. There was an update that broke the keyboard entirely for over a month and all settings and customizations were wiped out. Additionally there is an issue with the keyboard that will register keypress twice or more. Look up customer experiences in reddit and you will see what I am talking about. If these issues were not a thing I would give 5 stars, unfortunately if the product remains broken for over a month, you as a customer will and are not a priority to the company. Avoid yourself a headache and save yourself some money.
