Corsair keyboard with built-in Stream Deck revealed at CES

19 hours ago7 min read

Corsair just dropped a bomb at CES 2026 that’s got the gaming and streaming worlds buzzing: the Galleon 100 SD, a mechanical keyboard with a full-blown Stream Deck controller baked right into its frame. This isn’t just a keyboard with a few extra macro keys; it’s a legit fusion of two powerhouse peripherals, featuring a 5-inch touchscreen, two rotary dials, and a full set of 12 programmable Stream Deck buttons.For the uninitiated, the Stream Deck, originally popularized by Elgato (which Corsair owns), is essentially a customizable macro pad that’s become a non-negotiable piece of kit for streamers, letting them trigger scene changes, launch sound effects, or control lighting with a single tap. But its utility has exploded far beyond Twitch and YouTube studios.Gamers use it to map complex in-game commands, creatives employ it for Photoshop shortcuts or video editing, and smart home enthusiasts have turned it into a command center for their lights and thermostats. By integrating this functionality directly into a high-performance keyboard, Corsair is betting big on a future where your primary input device does a whole lot more than just type WASD.The Galleon 100 SD is being marketed squarely at the PC master race, with Corsair touting the ability to map abilities, call in airstrikes, or manage inventory without ever taking your hands off the home row—a tantalizing prospect for competitive titles where menu navigation can mean the difference between a clutch play and a respawn timer. The integration with the Elgato Marketplace is a huge play here, offering pre-configured profiles for popular games that should, in theory, let you plug and play without spending hours setting up keybindings.The screen can display real-time stats like system temps, FPS, or in-game resources, which is a nice touch for immersion and monitoring. Under the hood, this is every bit the premium gaming keyboard Corsair promises.It boasts hyper-polling up to 8,000Hz, which the company claims transmits keystrokes up to eight times faster than standard 1,000Hz boards—a spec that’s become a battleground for esports brands. It uses Corsair’s own MLX Pulse mechanical switches, tuned for a tactile feel and fast actuation, all housed in a gasket-mounted aluminum frame with six layers of sound dampening.There’s a cushioned palm rest and, of course, the obligatory configurable RGB lighting. It’s a spec sheet designed to make any hardware enthusiast nod in approval.But here’s the catch, and it’s a big one: the price tag. At $350, the Galleon 100 SD is asking for a serious commitment.For that same cash, you could buy a standalone Stream Deck XL (which has 32 buttons) and a very respectable mechanical keyboard from a brand like Keychron or even Corsair’s own lineup and still have money left over for a new game or two. This puts the Galleon in a weird niche.
