Corsair Galleon 100 SD combines Stream Deck and TKL keyboard — $349.99 tradeoffs

Corsair's Galleon 100 SD pairs a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with a built-in Stream Deck-style control panel, and GamesRadar+ says that combining both has been “one of the biggest impacts” on the reviewer's day-to-day gameplay — though its $349.99/£309.99 price won’t make sense for everyone.

The deck features 12 full-color Stream Deck buttons, two control dials and a 5‑inch display alongside a TKL keyboard. It ships with Corsair MLX Pulse switches (45g actuation, 2.0mm actuation distance), PBT doubleshot keycaps, full hot‑swap support for 3‑ and 5‑pin switches, an 8,000Hz polling rate and an unusual two USB‑C connection setup with a passthrough.

For Stream Deck setup the reviewer used Elgato's software, which they said “runs like a dream” and provides access to a large plugin marketplace. By contrast, Corsair's Web Hub and firmware tool (tested in beta) caused problems: the Web Hub initially failed to recognize the keyboard, a firmware update briefly bricked the device, and the Web Hub can refuse to save some RGB tweaks.

Corsair described the bricking as a rare occurrence; after a reboot and update the reviewer reported a smoother experience. The typing feel is described as smooth, thocky and well‑dampened, with uniform RGB under long legends and a satisfying PBT texture.
