Corsair finally does Hall Effect! Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard review

Prawn here with my review of Corsair's best keyboard yet. Corsair has finally released a keyboard with Hall Effect switches and as you'd expect it's packed full of features as a result. The Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 is a compact (ish) keyboard that boasts a number of things including: 8,000 Hz polling rate Adjustable actuation switches Flashtap and Rapid Trigger Lubed Hall Effect magnetic switches that are satisfying to type with LCD screen Multi function wheel Comfortable wrist rest And more Weirdly it only works with Corsair Web Hub at the time of making this video, but if you hate iCue then that might be a bonus!
