Introducing Vanguard Pro 96 and Vanguard 96 Gaming Keyboards
Unless they plan to add ICUE into it - there is no way I'm using it instead of my K100. I have a full blown corsair ecosystem in my water build and I can't switch between "silent" and "gaming" profiles in iCUE with that keyboard, just wow. Also tried their Sabre V2 Pro and liked it, but it also does

Introducing Vanguard Pro 96 and Vanguard 96 Gaming Keyboards
This Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard is bad. Like REALLY BAD. I'll likely be returning it. I got the keyboard on Friday. I updated to latest firmware immediately after unboxing. I have to unplug it, and plug it back in with every power down or reboot.I have a huge issue with random sticky keys AND ignoring

iCUE Update Coming - Sabre v2 Pro, Vanguard Pro 96, and Vanguard 96 support
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/keyboards/hall-effect-keyboards-explained/ Is there no plan to update iCUE support for the Clipper Pro Mini? Also, the new Hall Effect feature has been added to the Vanguard 96 Pro. However, you are aware that this makes it impossible to use iCUE again, r

Corsair's new Hall effect feature has been applied to Vanguard 96 Pro as well.
In the case of the Sabre V2 Pro, I believe Corsair made that decision simply to focus the product on gaming without software crashes. Of course, there are doubts regarding their software development capabilities. However, Vanguard 96 Pro currently includes iCUE support. The problem here is that they

Why is the Vanguard 96 PRO the most unstable keyboard I’ve ever used?
https://www.corsair.com/firmware-updater/index.html Check Firmware version. If the firmware version is 2.7.163, it is the latest version. Corsair has added a new Hall Effect feature in this firmware. The problem is that these features can currently only be configured via Web Hub, not iCUE. https://w

iCUE Megathread - 5.48 Release Notes
Vanguard 96 PRO. The word "PRO" is a total joke and must be replaced. Two weeks ago, I reported a bug which makes it impossible to change the actuation point of the 'N' key through iCUE. So far, the only thing I’ve received from tech support is an older firmware version that doesn't have this issue.

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
