Corsair Galleon 100 SD Keyboard Review: Stream Deck Integration
Corsair's Galleon 100 SD keyboard merges Elgato's Stream Deck with Drop's keyboard expertise, offering a unique design that replaces the number pad with a 12-button Stream Deck. The keyboard features a gasket mount assembly for a soft typing feel, 8,000 Hz polling rate, and hot-swappable mechanical switches. However, its large footprint (50% wider than 65% keyboards) may require significant desk space. The Stream Deck integration allows extensive customization but suffers from input delay and awkward button actuation. The keyboard is not fully performance-oriented, balancing high performance with customization. Repairability is limited due to complex assembly. Priced at $150, it competes with separate purchases of a keyboard and Stream Deck.
