Modern gaming and content creation demand more than raw performance: they demand control, awareness, and speed without interruption. Over time, that need has led to desks crowded with secondary control pads, macro decks, dials, and monitoring screens. Each tool adds capability, but also friction. The CORSAIR GALLEON 100 SD was created to eliminate that compromise.
By seamlessly integrating Elgato Stream Deck technology directly into a premium mechanical gaming keyboard, GALLEON 100 SD becomes a single, unified input device that keeps your hands, eyes, and focus exactly where they belong.
At the heart of GALLEON 100 SD is a fully embedded Stream Deck interface featuring 12 customizable shortcut keys and two multi-function rotary dials. Unlike external macro pads, these controls are positioned within natural reach, allowing instant access without shifting posture or breaking concentration. The integration is not additive but intentional from the start to make it an extension of the keyboard rather than a separate device bolted on. A default hardware mode provides the essentials for your daily life and the Elgato Stream Deck software upgrades the functionality even further.
Each Stream Deck key supports icons, folders, pages, and Multi Actions, enabling users to chain multiple commands into a single press. Easily customize actions with drag and drop convenience. In-game, this can mean executing complex ability rotations, opening inventory systems, or navigating menus instantly. Outside the game, it means controlling music playback, muting microphones, switching audio devices, or launching creative apps with one touch. The extensive plugin ecosystem available through the Elgato Marketplace ensures compatibility with the tools gamers and creators already rely on.
Complementing the Stream Deck controls is a full-color LCD screen with a sharp overall 720×1280 resolution. Rather than acting as a novelty, the display serves a practical purpose: delivering critical information exactly when you need it. Monitor system performance, view stream chat or Twitch status, track timers, or display custom visuals without alt-tabbing or glancing at a secondary monitor.
Because the screen is built directly into the keyboard, information is always in your peripheral vision. This design reinforces the GALLEON 100 SD’s central philosophy: reduce context switching and keep users locked into the moment.
Despite its advanced control features, GALLEON 100 SD never loses sight of its foundation as a high-performance gaming keyboard. It delivers 8,000Hz hyper-polling via CORSAIR AXON, ensuring ultra-low latency input that competitive players demand. FlashTap SOCD handling enables cleaner directional movement, supporting advanced techniques without unintended key conflicts. Additional modes bring enhanced compatibility and a separate Game Mode for focused gaming options and Macro Recording for custom actions.
The keyboard ships with pre-lubed CORSAIR MLX Pulse linear mechanical switches, tuned for smooth, consistent actuation and reduced wobble. Combined with gasket mounting and six layers of sound dampening, the typing experience is both refined and satisfyingly responsive for fast-paced gaming, yet comfortable for long sessions of streaming or productivity. Enthusiasts can further customize feel by hot-swapping compatible 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches.
Visually, GALLEON 100 SD is unmistakably premium. Per-key RGB lighting, a subtle mood bar, and the integrated LCD come together in a cohesive design that elevates any setup. The included cushioned palm rest enhances comfort during extended use, while durable PBT keycaps ensure long-lasting texture and clarity. A USB passthrough rounds out the feature-set by bringing a USB-C port to convenient reach and streamlining your digital life.
This attention to detail reinforces the keyboard’s role as more than just a tool and instead as a command center, designed to anchor your desk both functionally and aesthetically.
Customization is split cleanly between platforms. Keyboard performance, lighting, and onboard profiles are handled through the CORSAIR Web Hub, accessible directly from a browser with no software installation required. Stream Deck actions are managed through the familiar Elgato Stream Deck app, where users can drag and drop commands, install plugins, and load community-made profiles in minutes.
The result is a keyboard that adapts instantly to whether you’re switching games, changing workflows, or evolving your streaming setup over time.
The CORSAIR GALLEON 100 SD isn’t just about adding more buttons, it’s about removing barriers. By combining elite mechanical keyboard performance with integrated Stream Deck control and real-time visual feedback, it replaces multiple devices with one cohesive solution.
For gamers, streamers, and creators who demand speed, clarity, and command without compromise, GALLEON 100 SD doesn’t just enhance your setup. It fundamentally transforms how you interact with it.
It’s more than just a keyboard. It’s a new era of input.
