Corsair Galleon 100 SD review: built-in Stream Deck for $350

Corsair’s Galleon 100 SD combines a full mechanical keyboard with a 12-key Stream Deck grafted to its right side. It costs $350/£310 and aims at a narrow audience: for the right user it could be ideal, but that price will put many off. Software setup is split between Corsair’s Web Hub for the keyboard and Elgato’s Stream Deck app for the deck, and the keyboard appears as two devices in Windows.

Plugins are plentiful but can be fiddly to install—some required multiple attempts—and the Stream Deck supports everything from OBS and Twitch controls to system monitoring (via Libre Hardware Monitor), Excel macros and Photoshop shortcuts. Two clickable rotary dials and a small LCD add more customisation, though the screen is not touch-sensitive.

The keyboard itself uses hot-swappable Corsair MLX Pulse switches: five-pin, long-pole, pre-lubricated units with an integrated fresnel lens, a 2 mm actuation point and an 80 million keystroke lifespan.
