The Corsair VANGUARD 96 WIRELESS is a compact 96% mechanical gaming keyboard with 8,000Hz polling over wired or wireless connections, making it suitable for competitive players who want fast input response while keeping arrow keys and a numpad.
Recommended For

- Competitive PC players who want low-latency wired or 2.4GHz play and FlashTap SOCD handling for games that use opposing directional inputs.
