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.

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

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.

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

+1 (I am waiting for iCUE to support my brand new vanguard 96 pro, got it today, bought it just because of corsair's update from 2025-12-15 and the info iCUE support is coming for VG96Pro) no pressure, but please get the job done ;-)

Corsair MAKR PRO 75 1Month Impression

The Vanguard still supports both, it's just you will need to close iCUE while Web Hub is open in your browser. EDIT: it seems like you can now use both concurrency. 2.) MLX are Corsair's line of traditional pre-lubricated switches. There's different switches to choose from: Fusion (thocky and tactil

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

Vanguard 96 Pro Worth It?

IMHO yes, just got mine, and although there are some quirks with set up, I'm absolutely fine with it. Corsair just made it compatible with icue (but still buggy) so use the web hub to set up everything except the screen image. What you need to know going in is you'll need to go in to task manager an

[Question] Compatibility: AKKO MOD68HE + Haimu Dove HE Silent switches

I don't have this keyboard but I've replaced them on my Corsair Vanguard 96 Pro keyboard and love them. I would say if your keyboard switches uses the standard 2-pin HE switch type then these will probably work. I would get like a 10-pack to test with to make sure. (Make sure you're able to return t

96% HE Keyboard

So I am in the same boat you are... I gave up and bought both... The Corsair has a lot of cool features.. really geared towards gaming... feels good to type on... until you try the Keychron Q5 HE... that is in its own league... it cost more for a reason.. feels like it weights double the vanguard pr
