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.

Is there any way to put these Sensor Widgets onto the Xeneon Edge screen?

Yeah I agree! Soon to get the xeneon edge but i want to make sure everything is perfect to my taste before i hit the buy button. I love corsair and feedback is needed for a company to be versatile and hit a wide range of consumers. I just bought the vanguard pro 96 and its godly.. the frame 4500x is

I give up on keyboards.

i’ve always been corsair, started with a k95 platinum with mx brown switches(eventually some LEDs dimmed and i sold it), then for some reason i got a k65 mini, wasnt able to play some games with that, but then i ventured into rog, i loved scope 2 and azoth, but i missed corsair, went back to k70 pro

Did I get a great deal? Apex Pro TKL Gen 3

I got a full size Gen 3 for $189.99 and love it, more than the Corsair Vanguard PRO 96. SS was smart enough to position the screen and icons that show on it up at the TOP, where I can see it, that and the caps lock and num lock turn white when active, right out of the box. With my Corsair, there is

I actually found the near perfect match, Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 seems to have everything I need except for the tactile keys but like you said you can't get both tactile and HE switches. Unless there is something better which I couldn't find any I'm going with it.

i really love my corsair IRONCLAW mouse for the size and button layout. i currently have a k70 CORE RGB board but a couple of the switches are breaking and there's nobody in my vicinity that can/will repair a mechanical keyboard where the switches aren't hotswappable. i very much LIKE my k70 CORE RG

1 lonely programmer wanting a full-size custom keyboard.

The Vanguard 96 doesn't use iCue - it uses Corsair Webapp which once you set your lighting etc, you can just close it and ignore it exists. I got the Corsair Vanguard 96 regular because I wanted tactile switches, got their MLX Fusion "Tactile and Thocky" switches, and I love them already - very smoo

How to loose a fanboy…

I bought the Vanguard Pro 96 as well. After a few days of "beta testing" this unfinished and barely marketable product, I decided to return it. I have other stuff from Corsair, but this one is the of the worst "premium experiences" I've had in all my years as a consumer. I wasted soooo much time jus

Keyboard Recommendations Needed!

If you're wanting to stay with Corsair, their Vanguard 96 and Vanguard 96 Pro are great mainstream keyboards that include the numpad. I tested this out against 2 Wooting HE keyboards and a Razer Huntsman V3 HE. I ended up going with the Zinc Alloy Wooting 80HE, but the Corsair might have sufficed if

If you've used these keyboards, please tell me how you feel about them

I have the Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 HE. It’s actually fantastic and I tested almost 4 keyboards. I also really liked the turtle beach TKL pro with Hall Effext keys. Those keycaps felt really nice
