Customer Ratings & Reviews

Before sharing my review and thoughts about this item, I want to highlight that this keyboard truly stands out for its uniqueness. Its design is unlike any keyboard currently on the market. There is no available design that is even close to it. It was one of the standout products at CES, if not the star of the show, and I had been eagerly waiting for it to finally be released. Unboxing this keyboard was an exciting moment. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Corsair did a great job with the packaging; everything was well protected, and the keyboard itself was wrapped in a cloth cover, which immediately gave a premium impression. The moment I picked it up, it felt solid and high-end. You can instantly tell this is a high-quality product where craftsmanship and precision speak for themselves. What makes this Corsair Galleon 100 SD unique is that it is the first keyboard of its kind to seamlessly combine a mechanical keyboard with a Stream Deck into one premium and gorgeous design keyboard. The aluminum top plate, along with the internal sound-dampening layers, gives it a quiet and solid feel. The keys are well spaced, with fast and smooth actuation that feels great for both gaming and productivity. The detachable wrist rest feels great and keeps my hands comfortable and fatigue-free even during long gaming or productivity sessions. The MLX linear switches feel smooth and responsive, and during gaming, the 8,000 Hz polling rate functions great. Every key press feels instant and precise. The keyboard has two USB connections to power the keyboard and enable passthrough, and it also offers one USB passthrough port for connecting other peripheral devices. My biggest feature is the integrated Stream Deck. Corsair managed to integrate the deck in a very smart way by replacing the traditional numpad while keeping the numeric pad available but also adding more functionality than a standard numeric keypad. The Stream Deck features an LCD display and two rotary dials with brilliant colors. It allows you to control shortcuts, macros, apps, media, and system functions directly from the keyboard. The Stream Deck has a huge selection of apps and plugins available, making it great for gaming, streaming, media control, and monitoring system stats. The keyboard and its Stream Deck can be customized through the Corsair Web Hub, which is required for this keyboard and not the standard Corsair iCUE software. The web-based customization hub feels light in use, but it does feel more limited compared to iCUE. There is a learning curve, and it takes time to find the right layout and apps that suit your needs. I personally spent about two hours exploring plugins and customizing everything it felt like digging into the app store and Android store, which was sort of fun. Overall, this keyboard is unlike anything else on the keyboard market. It’s unmatched in build quality, responsiveness, and uniqueness, especially with its integrated Stream Deck that puts control of gaming, streaming, and media right at your fingertips. I would highly recommend it to anyone who values premium quality, smart shortcuts, and cutting-edge features. It is a blend of premium quality and cutting-edge technology.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD is Corsair's latest flagship mechanical keyboard bringing a major feature upgrade compared to any other gaming keyboard by blending the latest high-performance mechanical keystrokes with advanced stream deck integration. Specifically designed for gamers, streamers, and multitasking professionals, it promises to crack some necks and have people doing a triple take with its bright, colorful animated keys, incredibly comfortable keystrokes and convenient experience bringing all the customizable controls you’ll ever need right at your fingertips. The Galleon 100 SD sports a modern refined design with its durable aluminum frame giving it a premium look and feel. The keyboard features customizable RGB lighting across every key allowing users to tailor the aesthetic to their setup using the Corsair iCUE software. Users can sync lighting across other Corsair devices, set up complex key bindings, and automate repetitive tasks, making the Galleon 100 SD a central hub for productivity and entertainment. The keys themselves use high-quality mechanical switches, offering tactile feedback and quiet operation suitable for both gaming and office environments. There are six layers of sound dampening foam that reduce unwanted noise and clatter. Users can choose from linear, tactile, or clicky Corsair mechanical switches to suit your preference. The keyboard includes a magnetically detachable leatherette wrist rest with memory foam cushioning for extended comfort during long sessions. After using the keyboard for several gaming sessions, there is virtually no lag thanks to the AXON technology ultra-responsive 8000Hz hyper-polling which is up to eight times the standard keyboard. Arguably, the standout feature in the Galleon 100 is the built-in stream deck that integrates the customizable features of a stream deck into the top right section of the keyboard with stunningly colorful displays in every key. The stream deck offers a dedicated row of customizable LCD keys, enabling users to launch applications, switch scenes, control media, and execute complex macros with a single tap. The Corsair iCUE software makes it easy to personalize each button with custom icons and functions, catering to streamers and content creators who demand quick access to their most-used controls. To cut to the chase, the stream deck display and keys is absolutely mind blowing, perhaps even a distraction during gaming… but so worth it. Overall, the Corsair Galleon 100 SD mechanical keyboard is a powerful peripheral designed and developed specifically for gamers and streamers looking to enhance their gaming experience or boost their streaming setup. With its integrated stream deck, premium build, and advanced customization, it stands out as one of the most versatile keyboards on the market. The way I look at this investment and the higher price compared to other options is the Galleon 100 SD combines several peripherals that would cost at least this much to purchase separately, frees up another valuable USB port and, as an added bonus, includes an additional USB-C passthrough so I can have another wire strung across my desk.
