Milpitas, CA March 17, 2026 – CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR), a leading maker of performance gaming peripherals, announced the release of the 99% form factor, low-profile VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Equipped with low-profile CORSAIR OPX optical switches, 8,000Hz hyper-polling, FlashTap SOCD handling, versatile tri-mode connectivity, and an aluminum frame, it’s built on a rock-solid foundation of gaming performance.

Premium gasket mounting, five layers of sound dampening, and a brilliant, integrated LCD screen solidify the VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS as a formidable piece of competitive gaming gear that excels in all aspects of daily life. One of our thinnest keyboards ever made, it measures just a scant 18mm, perfectly designed for modern aesthetic sensibilities.

“The VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS is a low-profile keyboard built with serious gaming at its core,” said Tobias Brinkmann, Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals at CORSAIR. “We know many gamers have been waiting for a low-profile keyboard that pulls out all the stops and looks great doing it. It’s built for people who want a style-forward, elegant keyboard solution for high-level gaming and daily productivity. Harnessing the Stream Deck ecosystem with programmable SD-keys and Virtual Stream Deck capabilities, these fan-favorite features empower users to streamline their gaming, creating, and passions.”

Built for Serious Gaming

Equipped with features and specs that set it apart from other low-profile gaming keyboards, the VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS comes with ultra-responsive CORSAIR OPX optical low-profile switches installed. With their short 1.5mm actuation distance, these high-performance switches use infrared light to detect keypresses, eliminating mechanical debounce delays for near instant responsiveness. These switches are enhanced by FlashTap SOCD capabilities, and 8,000Hz hyper-polling, in both wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes. With tri-mode connectivity, easily connect using 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS v2, convenient Bluetooth®, or via the included USB-A cable. VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS also features wide multiplatform compatibility, so gamers can enjoy great performance and exert complete control whether they’re on PC, Mac, console, and more.

Built for Hybrid Life

As part of the Stream Deck ecosystem, this keyboard features direct integration within the Elgato Stream Deck app. Users can map commands to the six programmable SD-keys for quick, one-touch control of their gaming and everyday life. Easily streamline everything in-game from routine actions to complex sequences with a single press. Set your round buys, call in clutch stratagems, and manage inventory without having to dig through menus or memorize key binds.

Thanks to deep integrations with the most popular apps and tools, gamers can now efficiently optimize their hybrid work or online classes the way they do their favorite games. VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS keeps it all seamless, letting users initiate Teams calls, switch to their favorite brush, set their mic levels, and throw up a curated background without alt-tabbing.

With the power of Virtual Stream Deck unlocked, VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS empowers users to create and customize clickable on-screen shortcut menus. Users can easily summon these menus with one key press to simplify control and enhance the experience of all their favorite apps and most-played games.

Hundreds of plugins and ready-to-use custom profiles on Elgato Marketplace give gamers full command of their entire ecosystem and their favorite titles all in one place.

Fantastic Form and Function

VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS combines high-performance utility with a sophisticated, modern aesthetic. Housed in an elegant aluminum frame with an ultra-thin, low-profile silhouette with a brilliant LCD screen, it’s the perfect complement for any modern desk setup. Premium gasket mounting gives the pre-lubed keys an excellent typing feel, and the five layers of internal sound-dampening ensure that keypresses sound as good as they feel.
