Corsair Galleon 100 SD Review: Stream Deck Now Included
Key takeaways
- Unique design that integrates Elgato s Stream Deck.
- The Galleon merges the functionality of Elgato’s Stream Deck with Drop’s keyboard expertise.
- While a useful feature, I’m still not sure the bolted-on Stream Deck will be worth the added cost (or desk space) for the average user.
Why this matters: a development in AI with implications for how people work, create, and decide.

WIREDHefty, robust build. Unique design that integrates Elgato s Stream Deck. Switches feel smooth and comfortable.TIREDFull-size layout takes up a lot of space. Not necessarily better than a separate Stream Deck. Integrated Stream Deck requires secondary software for most functions.Over the past years, Corsair has been expanding its market share extensively through acquisitions. Though the Silicon Valley peripheral-maker now owns Elgato, Origin, Scuf, Drop (which they’ve since announced the closure of), and Fanatec, each brand largely operated in a silo. That changed with the launch of its latest keyboard, as the Galleon 100 SD brings together some of the best features from Corsair's subsidiaries.
The Galleon merges the functionality of Elgato’s Stream Deck with Drop’s keyboard expertise. The LED buttons are borrowed directly from the Stream Deck, and unlike some previous attempts from Corsair, the Galleon 100 SD is genuinely a good keyboard. With smooth switches, a soft typing experience, and endless customization options, I’m really shocked by how much Corsair managed to pack into this keyboard.
