Corsair announces Vanguard 96, a line of 96% gaming keyboards with Hall effect switches and, for some reason, Stream Deck integration

The Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 wired keyboard floats in a pink-blue gradient void.

Our Jacob really dug Corsair's MAKR 75 DIY keyboard, but wasn't entirely sold on either its price or lack of Hall effect switch compatibility. Well, the company's just announced another swish line of wired gaming keyboards featuring not only Hall effect switches, but also a tiny screen. Because why not, I guess?

The Vanguard 96 range is giving me some serious deja vu, in part because the foundations of its design are very similar to the K70 series of keebs (and I reviewed the Corsair K70 Pro TKL last March). For instance, these keebs enjoy the same MGX Hyperdrive Hall effect switches that also featured in that earlier K70 range. That offers not just rapid trigger tech, but also adjustable and dual actuation (leaving my other half to wonder why the keyboard I've lent them keeps doubling up their key presses).
