Match the layout, switches and connection. Check the exact regional key layout and switch option. A similar model name can describe different switches or a wireless version. Software support, key remapping and console compatibility need their own evidence; dimensions and switch travel are not a typing or gaming score.

Onboard profile capacity Sources Corsair VANGUARD 96 Corsair UK lists five onboard profiles. The manual lists five total (one onboard and four in WEB HUB), while its operating-modes table also says one profile up to five profiles. Exact onboard capacity is unresolved. · Manufacturer specification · Product-page, technical-manual and operating-mode descriptions disagree about onboard versus software storage. No numeric onboard-profile requirement or advantage is inferred.

Dedicated G-keys Sources Corsair VANGUARD 96 The UK product page lists 6 dedicated, programmable low-profile G-keys, while Corsair's manual says the Stream Deck software enables 'the five G-keys'; the official image shows keys labelled G1 to G5 on the left edge.

Claimed functions per key Sources Corsair VANGUARD 96 No source recorded. Logitech G316 X 75 No exact per-key function maximum is established by the retained current interpretation.
