iCUE Update Coming - Sabre v2 Pro, Vanguard Pro 96, and Vanguard 96 support

There's a new firmware version for the Vanguard 96 Pro (v.2.6.153). I just installed it via the Corsair Web Hub and it seems to have fixed the RGB bug (making the T or O key stick on one colour). Testing was brief so I can't comment on any other bug fixes but at least it seems like progress has been

Keyboard Recommendation

Lowest latency/input lag possible. This is obvious. Hall Effect keyboards are very much recommended. Not for rapid trigger or anything else, but being able to change actuation points is really convenient. Also they usually have the best latency results. You should get the latest keyboards. Tech has

iCUE Update Coming - Sabre v2 Pro, Vanguard Pro 96, and Vanguard 96 support

Oh hell yes. Not having support for the Vanguard 96 pro on iCue was a big time let down and i was honestly considering returning it. That being said construction-wise it is easily the best corsair keyboard I've ever used. Now that icue is coming, holy hell is it going to be one top notch keyboard.

Just arrived ! But how I control the rgb??? Is there any software???

I am not a Corsair employee, I’m just a Corsair Insider. Trust me, I feel the same. iCUE is the staple of a Corsair ecosystem. It’s great that there’s now options for those who don’t want to use iCUE, but want to still enjoy Corsair products with ARGB devices and a web browser application, but for t

Vanguard 96 Pro Worth It?

I absolutely love mine, I upgraded from the corsair rgb 70 Pro, it feels much smoother, its much quieter and the rgb on it is much more vibrant. I have theCORSAIR - VANGUARD 96 RGB Wired MLX Quantum Linear Mechanical Switch 96% Gaming Keyboard with FlashTap SOCD - Dual Tone

iCUE Update Coming - Sabre v2 Pro, Vanguard Pro 96, and Vanguard 96 support

I have had an on/off relationship with Corsair products, and now it is on again. Just ordered the Vanguard 96 Pro, broke out my trusty M65, found my Viruoso XT headset and my current PC is in a Corsair 5000D RGB case with an H150i Elite LCD 360 AIO cooler. Can't wait to try out the 96 Pro. While man

One key color stuck

It’s ICUE I was having the same issue with my vanguard 96 pro. Go into iCUE and store whatever color schemes for your other device onto the devices internal memory. Then completely close the program and turn it off in the start up apps. Next go to web hub and set up your keyboard and make sure it’s

Same issue here with my Vanguard Pro 96, 2 months like this. The keyboard works fine but iCUE crashes as soon as the Vanguard Pro 96 module is installed/loaded. I already tried a clean reinstall, clearing Corsair folders/cache, firmware update, removing/reinstalling the Vanguard module, removing Cor

iCUE Update Coming - Sabre v2 Pro, Vanguard Pro 96, and Vanguard 96 support

Je viens d'acquérir le corsaire vanguard pro 96 et ma T reste allumée en vert faible. Le clavier change également souvent de couleur et passe en rouge. Il m'est impossible de remettre ma couleur de base sans quitter et relancer icue... C'est un peu n'importe quoi !!
