"Hall effect switches are the most customizable and fastest you can currently get in a gaming keyboard. As such, they don't usually come cheap. However, they're fairly affordable to upgrade to today thanks to a deal on Corsair's Vanguard Pro 96, which is cheaper than ever at Amazon and Best Buy, selling for $159.99 (originally $229.99). This keyboard lets you adjust the actuation distance of each key - requiring less or more force to register key presses."
"I'm typing this on the Corsair Galleon 100 SD, the company's new $349.99 full-size mechanical keyboard that has full Stream Deck integration and is coming out later this month. And, you know what? I can see some similarities between it and the Vanguard Pro 96, despite the underlying switch tech being different. The Vanguard has a rotary dial, an info-dense LCD screen, nice aluminum housing for the keyboard, plus a magnetic-attaching wrist rest that's plush and looks sophisticated."
"Perhaps you already know you're going to dive into Resident Evil Requiem on launch day. If that's you, and you're a PC gamer, the Steam version is 18 percent off to preorder through Fanatical, a code seller that I've used numerous times without issue. The game will launch for $69.99, but you can nab a digital key to add to your Steam library for $57.39."
Corsair's Vanguard Pro 96 uses Hall-effect switches that allow per-key adjustable actuation and currently sells for $159.99, down from $229.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. The keyboard includes a rotary dial, an info-dense LCD, aluminum housing, a plush magnetic-attaching wrist rest, and six programmable macro keys along the left edge. Settings and customizations are configurable through Corsair's web app. The Vanguard is recommended for buyers who prioritize customizable switches. Corsair's Galleon 100 SD is a $349.99 full-size mechanical keyboard with full Stream Deck integration and shares some design similarities despite different switch technology. Resident Evil Requiem is available to preorder on Steam for $57.39 via Fanatical.
