Best flagship keyboard I have ever used
This is a fantastic keyboard especially if you can get it at the sale price. I would say it is a little overpriced at MSRP. That being said this is the first flagship keyboard I've gotten from corsair since the the raptor k30 and I am genuinely impressed by the build quality and performance. I have used tons of mechanical keyboards both out of box and customized and I am now 100% sold on hall effect switches, they are incredibly smooth and responsive once they are dialed in to your preferences. Corsair ICUE does now work with this keyboard however on first start up i did have to use the web hub to update the firmware but after that it worked in ICUE with no issues outside of its normal clunkiness that ICUE users are familiar with. By far the best typing and gaming experience I've had in a long time and i would recommend this keyboard to anyone looking to round off they're pc set up with a great keyboard at a great price. Pros: - hot swappable hall effect switches that sound and feel great - ICUE support (finally) - solid build quality - included magnetic wrist rest - high quality key caps with just a small amount of texture Cons: - ICUE is a little clunky - calibration for switches takes a little patience - game mode feels unneeded as you can use all options in either mode - Algato/ stream deck implementation feels tacked on (I would recommend using G keys for macros) Overall this is the best keyboard i have ever used and it is featured well for the price. It also may change your perspective on mechanical and optical switches as these hall effect switches feel like the future of typing and gaming.

A good keyboard, but please read this before you buy.
I want to share my experience so anyone thinking about buying this knows what to expect. The keyboard itself is well-built. The switches feel great, the layout is nice, and the hardware definitely has potential. But there are a few things I really wish I knew beforehand. First, iCUE Web doesn’t always detect the keyboard, and Corsair doesn’t explain this anywhere. In my case, I had to switch to a different USB port before it finally showed up. It also only works properly on Chrome or Edge — if you use Firefox, it simply won’t detect the keyboard at all. Once it does connect, the software still feels very limited. Some features don’t work the way they should, and firmware updates can be unpredictable. There’s also no easy way to roll back the firmware if something goes wrong. Second, the keycap print quality isn’t great, especially on the numpad and Print Screen area. When the RGB brightness is turned up, you can see uneven legends and slight misalignment. It doesn’t ruin the keyboard, but it does take away from the premium feeling I expected for this price. I’m keeping it because the hardware is nice, but the overall experience isn’t as smooth or polished as I hoped. If you’re considering this keyboard, just be aware that the software still has issues and might require some troubleshooting before it works properly. In summary: The keyboard is good, but the software needs more work. If you want something that works perfectly out of the box, you may want to wait for a future update.

Almost There...
I will start by saying that I am bias in that I am a Corsair fan boy. This review should be 3-stars, but it gets a little love from me. I purchased the Vanguard PRO 96 Hall Effect version. Probably one of the most satisfying sounding keyboards I've ever owned. Coming directly from the Cherry MX Speed series, these magnetic keys are something else and the sound scratches places of my brain that I didn't know existed. Pros: Looks great, feels solid, good build quality, no rattles, has built in Elgato support (not fully functional yet but they are working on it), great FN alternative keys/setups, easy to setup, easy to configure, key customization out the wazoo. Display screen is vivid and does the job it is supposed to (currently running a Burnt Peanut GIF). The WebHub is easy to navigate to and use although there are some CONS I will hit on next. Cons: MUST QUIT ICUE TO USE WEBHUB*** people hate this but if I'm idling, I don't really mind shutting down iCUE to fiddle with the keyboard. What I don't like is not being able to switch all my profiles at once. I've been assured they are working on bringing the Vanguard 96 into iCUE but for now, we have to deal with this annoyance. Really the only other complaint I have is that the screen stutters a bit when using GIFs. This is a 5-star keyboard once they consolidate WebHub/iCUE and fix the display. 8.5/10 would recommend.

The current pinnacle of gaming keyboard design and function.
In 50 years of computing this is unquestionably the best keyboard I have ever used. I unboxed and hooked it up and it worked great. I checked the website for software, and found that it is all web based so nothing to install on your pc. It updated the firmware 2 revisions while I watched. Something I have never had to do is calibrate every key on the keyboard. The website puts it in calibration mode, I thought it just stop working. You have to press each key one or more times, but there is visual feedback from each key. It is red if uncalibrated, press it, it turns blue then green when calibration is stored. About 5 seconds per key. Then you can modify and decide how far down it takes to activate each key, and as bonus you can designate a press and hold on any key to act as repeated presses of that key. The keyboard polling rate can be setup from the same app. There is a twist and press knob on the keyboard that allows you select the polling speed or dozen other options. The knob default is speaker volume. The feel of the keys while typing is fantastic. My previous favorite keyboard was the original IBM PC keyboard that had clicking noise with each keypress, but the net effect was that I typed faster with the IBM than any keyboard since. I have probably owned 50+ keyboards in my life and tried hundreds of others. If I had a negative comment, it would be the slightly compact size 96% of full size. I am accustomed to a standard large keyboard with the arrow keys away from the letter keys and the numeric pad farther right. If this was available in that format I would give away this keyboard and buy it. But only if it had the same hall effect keys. The wrist pad could use slightly stronger magnets for attachment but in have not noticed any ill effects so far. My scores on Battlefield 6 improved immediately. I used to come head to head with an opponent and die 90% of the time. The enhanced response has moved that heavily in my favor. If you play BF 6 don’t buy one, because I need the advantage Buy the Vanguard 96 Pro to get the Hall effect keys. I ordered the Vanguard 96 the first time and realized it came with mechanical keys and not Hall effect. I never opened the box so I cannot give you a comparison.

Best New Flagship Keyboard!
Been a fan of Corsair for my entire gaming life. I have used the same keyboard for many years and have rebought it twice. It was time for a new keyboard and I saw this new flagship. They never seem too upset with introducing their already good products with QoL features that I both knew and didn’t know I needed. They stayed with the same high quality braided power cable that they provide multiple options for cord management. They also upgraded the key tool to make replacing keys and switches with a pencil grip making it feel like I’m not going to break something. The keys that come with the keyboard are quieter than most but still have that tactile feel. The RGB is exactly what you would expect but with an easy to use internet hub, so no need to download extra 3rd party programs. For the more extreme gamers there is even a function for key actuations to be based off certain points of the press. The keyboard is compact but still offers a NUM pad and most extras you are accustomed to. The LED screen is perfect for extra game data or just a nice picture to more personalize your experience. Overall an easy upgrade that is even better than expected and worth every bit. Highly recommend.

Excellent keyboard!
Probably my favorite keyboard so far! I have no compliants whatsoever, the key presses feel nice but a little mushy (if you like really clicky keyboards, this ain't it), but it is really quiet as a result, so it doesn't produce too much background noise and doesn't get picked up by microphone. The lighting is really cool and fits my set up well, but it does currently require using a web utility instead of the Corsair desktop software. As a result, you can't customize what is displayed on the little screen, but that's whatever, probably a gimmicky feature anyways since I don't really look at the screen 99.9% of the time anyways. The audio dial being a physical knob instead of simple buttons is nice, it makes it easier to adjust volume without having to take your eyes off the screen.

Firmware nightmare and possibly bricked unit. Either way, this product did not function AT ALL.
I was legitimately excited about this keyboard. My past two keyboards were Corsair keyboards but it's been about 5 years since I got my last one and I wanted something smaller and wanted to see what the hall effect switches were all about. I am a Corsair fan and this was the most disappointing experience buying a keyboard in all my years. First off, it looked great out of the box and felt good. I plugged it in and noticed the actuation was very low. The keys were super sensitive and I was double typing letters so I wanted to start changing settings but I needed a firmware update. The keyboard was recognized by both my PC and the iCue software. The update failed. I tried everything. Resetting the keyboard by holding down the ESC key did nothing. I went to the web hub and tried to factory reset it - still nothing. I closed all possible conflicting apps and tried every 3.2 USB hub, as well as every USB hub on my motherboard. Nothing worked. I tried booting into safe mode and updating it there with no progress. Every possible troubleshooting tip online did not work. I worked on it just trying to get the firmware updated for 6 hours and just hit a brick wall. I tried to make a ticket with Corsair for possible troubleshooting tips but all they offered me was a new unit and to send back the one I bought. I didn't want to do that because I was afraid the same thing would just keep happening with another one. So very disappointed with this product and I hate to send it back but I did. One thing I noticed is that the keyboard and other components were not wrapped in paper like other ones I saw unboxed online. It said I was buying a new keyboard. The LCD and lighting seemed to work but I just couldn't get the firmware updated which is the most basic step. Without the firmware I couldn't tweak anything. I couldn't modify the settings onboard nor in the web hub. Looking online it seems like my problem isn't the only issue with this product. The reviews are correct - it is not good. Maybe the board is actually bricked and I got a defective unit, but when I pay $200 for a product it should come in working condition and the software should cooperate. I sent it back and I'm going to spend my refund money elsewhere on a different keyboard. Use caution when buying this product.

Great keyboard with some issues with software and an overlooked flawed designed in the chassy.
Honestly its such an amazing keyboard. The feel is amazing and the shorter with really makes it feel great on your lap or on the desk. The key click is soft but still clicky enough to enjoy the sounds and not so loud as to wake the dead. The travel of each key and being able to be programed at different points in the key stroke is so much fun in games like POE, Last Epoch, Minecraft and most sports and racing games also benefit greatly from it. There is one MAJOR Flaw is the cord it has a nice look. a braided cable, however the USB C port it hooks up to is under the space bar which in itself is odd but it has multiple routing groves with nubbins 5 of them which you have to press fit the cord into which ever route you want. The issue being that those nubbins aren't able to keep the cord in place it constantly falls out and I've had to Press it back in 3 or 4 times a day and it's caused the braided cable to start to fray so I decided to put some tape around it to make it a snugger fit but since the nubbins are flat on their squeeze point there's really nothing keeping it in there. IMO they should have curved them a bit even with the tape it still comes undone just as often even though its a much tighter fit. The second MAJOR flaw is the software or I mean all 3 of them, there's 3 there's two for some reason... ICUE is the normal program everyone would suspect would run it but no that feature was only added recently it use to not work at all. Instead they have the other which is just a web link where you can do all the same stuff but only for this specific keyboard. BOTH overall settings programs don't save the settings nor the .gif files, the second the keyboard losses power all the data and settings are gone. The only way to reset it is to again run ICUE again or go to the web address for it to update based on your profile however it will no-longer have the .gif files so you have to re-upload them. Over all the screen is very nice easily setup and has a lot of cool info as well but again if you power it off you have to upload everything again. Though normally annoying ,the gaming button is way more of an obstacle instead of a feature but this one is in a great location and it also turns off the useless elgoto key. For some reason they decided to replace the right control key with it and kind of messes with the functionality of the keyboard itself. Honestly I wish it wasn't there and when I do use it it crashes the program that runs it thus disabling my Stream Deck an the key. The knob is kind of stupidly designed and really annoying. The knob is honestly kind of useless other than to set it to volume as the turn features to select things are unfortunately useless as the knob spins slowly because of the knob friction and it causes issues with selecting the app or command fast enough to make it useful in games and such. Over all its a great keyboard with some crappy software but I think it would be great on a sale around $150ish. If they fix the software issues it would easily be worth the asking price but it's got too many annoying issues to be a flagship keyboard. It would be nice with some better LEDs these are pretty dull compared to something like the K70 Rapid fire I'd give it about a 3.5/5 stars or 6.5/10. I've added a few pictures of the wire where I added the tape and the routing of it. I would tape over them as well but It would likely peal off in a few weeks as the keyboard moves around.
