The switches feel great for typing, and for gaming they are fantastic. The added features are fairly nice, though I would suggest looking at cheaper alternatives. However I must praise Corsair for trying having their customization done via a webplatform. This sort of thing should be commended. It works quite well when using the proper browser

Great keyboard but terrible software

The hardware side of this keyboard is very nice. I was tempted to daily drive this one but the software implementation for this keyboard is too buggy. It uses a web-based customization (yay!) but when you try to upload the customizations to the keyboard, it often freezes or the connection to the keyboard keeps dropping. I once tried syncing the customizations about 8 times and then just gave up. Sadly, I ended up returning it, but will consider it again once there's iCue integration or better software.

This keyboard is absolutely amazing and feels great. The hall effect keys feel so nice and the sound is extremely pleasant. The screen is also a nice addition. Overall, this keyboard is great for gaming and typing! I guarantee you will love it.

Was hesitant to purchase due to the size but it’s really a nice size for my desk. I’m loving it more then I was expecting. It allows me to use my mouse next to my keyboard on the keyboard tray.

Smooth Typing Keyboard

Key presses are smooth, responsive, and satisfying, offering great accuracy whether you’re gaming competitively or working through daily tasks. The RGB lighting could be better and it is customizable, with Corsair’s iCUE software providing plenty of options to personalize lighting effects and key functions. Overall, the Corsair Vanguard 96% Pro Keyboard stands out as a reliable, high-performance keyboard with a sleek design, making it an excellent addition to any setup.

The typing feel and sound are fantastic on this board. It even sounds better than my Wooting keyboard. The gaming features are nice and there's 1 or 2 uses I can get out of the dial and screen. However, the web app is very clumsy and requires iCue to be shut down completely. That won't be fixed until Spring 2026. This is where it loses to other keyboards. There are features missing from this keyboard that you'll find on other, cheaper HE boards. Still, it is one of the absolute best gaming keyboards on the market today!

I love this keyboard, but have had trouble customizing it on their website as it keeps freezing. Other than that I love the sound and the little screen!

Excellent keyboard. Some firmware hiccups but they got solved with a recent update. Very quiet with a tacky sound, accurate actuation and very light. You can also adjust the deadzone of each key.

Great keyboard! Traded off a K100 for this one. I am not a huge fan of the 96% as things get cramped but love it more than a TKL.
Configuration is smooth after shutting down iCUE for my mouse, that support should be arriving soon (I hope).
Truth be told I haven't used the screen all that much but the keys are nice and silent. Will probably get another Corsair Keyboard when needed.
Used to use Logitech before they went to the laptop style keys, now they don't feel right.

The HE Keys are quick and responsive, the layout is nice and easy to navigate. The Web-based Software isnt as bad as most are saying. The wrist support is top notch.
