When did you last use your numpad for numbers? Exactly. Meanwhile the desk is full of little gadgets: a Stream Deck, a volume knob, a phone showing Discord, a sticky note with your macro keys.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD rolls all of that into one keyboard. It’s a mechanical gaming keyboard with an Elgato Stream Deck built in, right where the numpad would be: 12 small LCD keys, two dials and a color screen.

Corsair owns Elgato, so this was bound to happen. I’m just surprised it took this long.

What is the Corsair Galleon 100 SD?

On the left, it’s a regular gaming keyboard. On the right, it’s a Stream Deck. Corsair calls it the first high-performance gaming keyboard with one built in, and it was a CES 2026 Innovation Awards honoree and a Red Dot winner.

The Stream Deck part works like Elgato’s standalone ones:

  • 12 LCD keys that trigger actions with a press, double-press or press-and-hold. Each key shows its own icon
  • Two rotary dials for things like volume or mic levels. Push to perform an action, push and hold to switch to another
  • A customizable screen for music, mic levels, hardware temperatures or your favorite Twitch channels
  • Profiles and plugins from the Elgato Marketplace, including ready-made profiles for games like Helldivers 2. Smart Profiles can switch automatically when you open a game

The keyboard part, on paper:

  • Pre-lubed MLX Pulse linear switches, hot-swappable with 3-pin and 5-pin switches, rated for 80 million presses
  • 8,000Hz polling and FlashTap SOCD (the last-pressed key wins when you hit two opposite directions)
  • PBT double-shot keycaps, per-key RGB and an aluminum top plate
  • A memory foam palm rest in the box

The good and the not-so-good

What I like:

  • One device instead of three. You don’t need a Stream Deck and a keyboard fighting for desk space.
  • It’s good as a keyboard too. RTINGS called it a superb gaming keyboard, especially for streamers and anyone who leans on shortcuts or macros.
  • Practical controls in games. Mapping “reload” or “use backpack” to a key with an icon on it beats remembering what Ctrl+Shift+F7 did.

What could be better:

  • The price. The list price is $349.99, which is serious money for a keyboard.
  • You need Elgato’s software running in the background for the Stream Deck part, RTINGS notes. Some Amazon buyers report the Stream Deck app not waking up properly after a reboot.
  • Two USB cables. Owners say one handles the keyboard and a second powers the rest, and keyboard settings live in a web page that only works in Chromium-based browsers.
  • No real numpad. There’s a virtual keypad profile in the Stream Deck app, but it’s not the same.
  • RTINGS found the typing sound somewhat loud.

Who is the Corsair Galleon 100 SD for?

Streamers, PC gamers who live in Discord and Spotify while playing, and MMO or sim players with too many keybinds. It’s a big but very giftable upgrade for someone who’s been eyeing a Stream Deck anyway.

Skip it if you type in spreadsheets all day (you’ll miss the numpad) or if you just want a nice keyboard. The NuPhy Air75 is a slim, cheaper option for that. Streamers building a setup might also like the Elgato Facecam, and the Logitech MX Master 4 is a good match on the mouse side.

Where can I buy the Corsair Galleon 100 SD?

Corsair sells it on Amazon. At the time of writing (October 2026) the black US layout is about 284 bucks, down from the 350-dollar list price.

Finally, a numpad that earns its desk space.
