WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Corsair VANGUARD 96 WIRELESS

What it brings

Three connection modes (2.4 GHz SLIPSTREAM, Bluetooth and wired USB) with up to 125 hours on 2.4 GHz or 132 hours on Bluetooth with RGB off.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Keeps a number pad, function row and arrow keys in a 388 × 141 mm body, with hot-swap sockets for 3- and 5-pin switches and up to 8,000 Hz polling.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

Corsair's battery figures are for RGB off; no battery life with lighting on is published.
Manufacturer source
At 1.167 kg it is heavy for a compact board, and Corsair's pages disagree on the number of G-keys (six versus five).
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

Logitech G512 X 98

What it brings

The 39 Dual Swap beds accept either Logitech’s magnetic analog switches (0.1–4.0 mm actuation) or standard 3/5-pin mechanical switches.
Manufacturer source
It keeps a number pad in a 98% footprint 387.2 mm across, with two programmable knobs, a GAME MODE button and an 8 kHz report-rate option.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Only nine analog switches are included, so adjustable actuation applies to those keys unless more are fitted; the rest use the pre-installed tactile switches.
Manufacturer source
It is wired only, the palm rest is sold separately, and Logitech lists no rollover figure; its UK page lists 81 swappable switch beds, fewer than the keys on the board, so full hot-swap coverage is unconfirmed.
