Corsair used CES 2026 to introduce a new keyboard that combines a full mechanical layout with a built-in control surface modeled after the Stream Deck. The product, called the Galleon 100 SD, is aimed squarely at PC gamers and creators who already rely on macro keys and secondary input devices to manage games, streams, and desktop workflows.
At its core, the Galleon 100 SD is a standard-sized mechanical gaming keyboard, but it adds a five-inch integrated screen, two rotary encoders, and a cluster of 12 programmable buttons that function like a native Stream Deck. For users unfamiliar with the concept, the Stream Deck is essentially a customizable grid of shortcut keys that can trigger software commands, macros, or system-level actions. While it first gained traction among streamers, its use has broadened to include gaming, creative work, and general productivity.
Corsair is positioning this keyboard primarily as a gaming accessory. The programmable buttons can be mapped to in-game actions such as activating abilities or managing inventory, reducing the need to navigate on-screen menus. Profiles available through the Elgato Marketplace allow users to load preconfigured layouts for supported games, which lowers the barrier to entry for those who do not want to spend time manually assigning commands. The built-in display can also surface contextual information, such as system stats or application feedback, while a game is running.
Despite the gaming-focused messaging, the Stream Deck functionality remains fully intact. The 12 buttons support broader uses beyond games, including livestream control, smart home management, and shortcuts for creative software. In that sense, the Galleon 100 SD is less a novelty add-on and more a consolidation of two commonly paired desktop devices into a single unit.
As a keyboard, Corsair has leaned into familiar high-end specifications. The Galleon 100 SD supports polling rates up to 8,000Hz and uses the company’s MLX Pulse mechanical switches, which are tuned for relatively fast actuation with tactile feedback. The chassis is built from aluminum and incorporates gasket mounting and multiple internal layers intended to reduce unwanted noise. A detachable palm rest and configurable RGB lighting round out the hardware package.
The most immediate drawback is pricing. At $350, the Galleon 100 SD sits well above the cost of most gaming keyboards. At that price, buyers could purchase a standalone Stream Deck XL and a capable mechanical keyboard separately, often with money left over. Whether the integration and reduced desk clutter justify the premium will depend largely on how much value users place on having everything built into a single device.
