Corsair has officially announced the GALLEON 100 SD, a new mechanical keyboard that incorporates the hardware functionality of an Elgato Stream Deck directly into the chassis. Unveiled during CES 2026, the device (model CH-912A31I-NA) is designed to consolidate workspace controls by merging a standard typing interface with broadcast-focused peripherals.

Hybrid Hardware Layout

The most distinct feature of the GALLEON 100 SD is the removal of the traditional number pad. Corsair has replaced this section with a dedicated control column on the right side of the board. This vertical area houses three primary components:

  • Two Rotary Dials: Positioned at the top, these encoders can be assigned to manage volume, zoom levels, or timeline scrubbing in editing software.
  • LCD Status Screen: A 5-inch vertical panel with a resolution of 720x1280 sits below the dials. It displays widgets, system statistics, or visual feedback for the dials.
  • 12 Stream Deck Keys: The bottom of the column features programmable LCD keys identical to those on standalone Stream Deck units.

This design is intended for users who typically run a separate macro pad alongside their keyboard. By combining the two, the GALLEON 100 SD reduces the physical footprint required for a streaming setup. If you are currently planning a workspace layout on Configurine, note that this unit effectively occupies the same dimensions as a standard full-size keyboard despite the added functionality.

Mechanical Specifications

Under the keycaps, the board uses Corsair’s MLX Pulse linear mechanical switches. These come pre-lubricated from the factory to reduce friction. The printed circuit board is hot-swappable, which allows owners to install their own 3-pin or 5-pin switches if they prefer a different actuation feel.

To address typing acoustics, the chassis utilizes a gasket-mounted design and includes six layers of sound-dampening material. This construction aims to minimize the hollow resonance often associated with aluminum-framed keyboards.

Software and Modes

The GALLEON 100 SD supports three operational modes. Hardware Mode relies on onboard memory for basic lighting and settings without active software. Web Mode allows for configuration via a browser-based hub. Finally, Stream Deck Mode unlocks the full capability of the LCD keys and screen, requiring the Elgato Stream Deck desktop application to be active.

Users can drag and drop actions for OBS Studio, Twitch, and other applications directly onto the keyboard interface using the Elgato software.

Pricing and Availability

The Corsair GALLEON 100 SD is available now with an MSRP of $349.99.

This price point is higher than most standard mechanical keyboards, but it reflects the combined cost of a high-end keyboard and a separate Stream Deck XL. For those building a new PC, you can verify if your motherboard has the necessary USB bandwidth to support this device by checking the compatibility tools over at Configurine.
