"Elgato's Stream Deck has come full circle. Almost eight years after the company picked up the pieces of Art Lebedev's ambitious Optimus keyboard and went in a different, cheaper direction with the idea, we're going back to keyboards. Corsair's Galleon 100 SD, announced at CES 2026, is a wired mechanical keyboard that effectively has a full Stream Deck Plus built into it and then some: 12 customizable buttons, a multi-purpose 5-inch 720 x 1280 IPS screen, and two rotary dials."
"I reviewed the Corsair Voyager gaming laptop in 2022, which had uninspiring touch-sensitive buttons that could be configured using Elgato's software. It was underbaked, but it felt like the start of something that was long overdue, given Corsair acquired Elgato in 2018. The Galleon seems like a remarkable improvement, mostly due to the fact that it's the full Stream Deck experience, not a distillation."
The Galleon 100 SD merges a full Stream Deck Plus into a wired mechanical keyboard with 12 customizable buttons, a 5-inch 720×1280 IPS screen, and two rotary dials. The product launches January 29 and is available for preorder at $349.99, reportedly born from many, many years of customer requests. Keyboard features include an 8,000Hz polling rate, a hot-swappable PCB with MLX Pulse switches, gasket mounting, and FlashTap simultaneous opposing cardinal direction support. The design follows earlier Elgato integrations in Corsair devices and represents a more complete Stream Deck implementation than previous attempts.
