Save $60 on Corsair's impressive 96% gaming keyboard with Elgato Stream Deck integration — the Vanguard 96 RGB features pre-lubed mechanical switches, sound dampening, a color LCD screen, and a full-size number pad
Save $60 on Corsair's impressive Vanguard 96 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard at Best Buy.
Desk space is a premium, and some individuals strive to preserve as much free space as possible. One solution that has emerged over the years is the adoption of compact keyboards, such as the Corsair Vanguard 96 RGB. Priced at $119.99 on sale at Best Buy, this keyboard offers a significant discount from its original list price of $179.99.
The Corsair Vanguard 96 RGB is a 96% mechanical gaming keyboard that cleverly condenses essential keys into a layout that can fit a number pad, arrow keys, function keys, six G-keys (macro/Elgato), an LCD screen, and a rotary dial, all while maintaining a size comparable to a TenKeyLess (TKL) keyboard. This compact form factor requires some adjustments to muscle memory, particularly due to altered key dimensions like the number pad's "zero" key and the absence of the right CTRL button.
The keyboard boasts an impressive 8000 Hz polling rate for minimal latency, pre-lubed Corsair MLX switches for smooth typing and gaming, hot-swappable PCB compatibility for various switch types, RGB lighting, four-layer sound-dampening foam and silicone for reduced clacking, and Elgato Virtual Stream Deck integration for seamless control of your device.
While this keyboard doesn't have a dedicated review, its features are similar to those of the Corsair Vanguard Pro 96, which uses Corsair's MGX magnetic switches instead of the MLX mechanical switches.
