Precision built for the serious competitor
The Corsair VANGUARD PRO 96 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard is built for players and creators who refuse to compromise on speed or control. Every input runs through CORSAIR MGX V2 Hyperdrive magnetic switches, giving you the kind of consistent, ultra-fast actuation that separates a good gaming keyboard from a great one. Whether you're chasing frames in a ranked match or fine-tuning your stream setup, this keyboard is engineered to keep up with you.
Magnetic switches, tactical response
Tired of input lag costing you the round? The MGX V2 Hyperdrive magnetic switches work alongside 8,000Hz hyper-polling to deliver near-instant response, while FlashTap SOCD technology intelligently resolves opposing key presses so your movement inputs register exactly as intended. Together, these technologies turn every keystroke into a decisive, tactical advantage rather than a gamble.
Compact form, full control
The optimally-compact 96% form factor gives you a full function row and dedicated navigation cluster in a footprint that frees up desk space for wider mouse sweeps, without sacrificing the FN shortcuts for media and volume control you rely on every day. Full key rollover (NKRO) ensures every command lands, no matter how complex the combo.
Personalise and play in comfort
The vibrant integrated LCD screen puts customisation at your fingertips, and Elgato Virtual Stream Deck integration lets streamers bring deck-style controls straight to the keyboard. With 8MB of onboard memory and 5 onboard profiles, your settings travel with you across setups. When the session runs long, the detachable magnetic wrist rest, finished in leatherette with a memory foam cushion, keeps your wrists supported from the first match to the last.
