Corsair Galleon 100 SD packs Elgato-style Stream Deck into keyboard

Corsair has folded Elgato-style Stream Deck controls into a near-full-size TKL keyboard with the Galleon 100 SD, giving streamers, creators, and power users a single chassis for typing and shortcut control. Priced at $349.99, the board replaces the numeric pad with a Stream Deck surface featuring 12 programmable OLED buttons, a 2.75-inch OLED screen at 720 x 384 pixels, and two physical dials, alongside a full set of keyboard features aimed at enthusiast buyers.

Under the keycaps sit pre-lubed Corsair MLX Pulse linear switches rated for 80 million actuations, mounted on a gasket-mounted PCB. The deck leans heavy into sound and feel with six layers of sound dampening and a muffled, rich "thock" on each keystroke, a tactile signature that reviewers say is far removed from the sharp click of budget gaming boards. The switches are hot-swappable for three- or five-pin stems, and the board runs with an 8,000 Hz polling rate plus a Flash Tap SOCD firmware feature that prioritizes the last pressed movement key - useful for actions such as counter-strafing in fast shooters.

Corsair included two USB-A to USB-C cables, a USB-C passthrough on the right edge, and a magnetically-attached wrist rest in the box. The keyboard weighs roughly 1.392 kg and measures 446 x 159 x 18-38 mm, so it is substantial on a desk and not aimed at frequent travelers. The wired setup has sparked mixed impressions: the deck runs fine with a single cable in everyday use, but the two-USB-C connection arrangement - which can route one connection back via passthrough - was called "an odd setup" and leaves extra cable management to contend with.

Value comparisons hinge on which Stream Deck model you use as a benchmark. Reviewers pointed to a range of standalone Stream Deck prices - from compact six-button units up to models with screens and dials near $200 - and those discrepancies change the arithmetic of whether the Galleon justifies its $349.99 price tag. In practical terms, the device eliminates separate cabling, setup, and desk real estate for anyone who actually uses macro banks, animated OLED icons, or media and streaming shortcuts at the keyboard.

User reports have been positive for workflow and gaming. One user wrote that integrating a Stream Deck into a keyboard is "next level" for macros and text inputs, while noting a desire for a touchscreen option like larger Stream Deck models. The summed-up verdict is straightforward: "The Corsair Galleon 100 SD is a high-quality, all-in-one gaming keyboard with integrated Stream Deck features, excellent typing performance, and versatile controls, but it’s bulky, wired, and best suited for users who will actually use its many extra functions."

If you stream, create, or live in macros, the Galleon 100 SD brings controls to your home row and could replace a separate control pad; if you only want extra buttons, weigh the cost against standalone Stream Deck options and watch for discounts or regional availability in the January 30 to February 2 shipping window.
