Like many companies, Corsair is essentially a bunch of businesses wearing a trench coat. The company owns Corsair (obviously), Elgato, Scuf, Drop, and Origin PC, all of which specialise in various gaming and PC peripherals. But, generally in the past, these brands were kept relatively separate to make their own products.
At CES 2026, Corsair unveiled a crossing of the streams that quickly became one of my most anticipated new gadgets from the event.
The Corsair Galleon 100 SD keyboard is essentially the lovechild of a top-of-the-line Corsair keyboard (roughly equivalent to the Vanguard 96) and the Elgato Stream Deck+, and it truly is the best of both worlds.
On the left-hand side, you have a keyboard featuring Corsair MLX Pulse mechanical switches. On the right-hand side, there’s most of an Elgato Stream Deck+, just minus the touch screen (there is still a screen, it’s just that it is oblivious to your touch).
Corsair keyboard and Elgato Stream Deck+ combined
On the keyboard side, it’s a premium, pro-level gaming keyboard with satisfyingly clicky buttons that aren’t excessively loud thanks to six layers of sound-dampening foam. The idea of foam made me concerned that it would be fatiguing, but in my brief time with the keyboard, it just felt pretty satisfying. I could feel the foam a little, but not as much as the ‘six layers’ set me up to expect. It also definitely was not quiet. The switches are hot swappable, so if you decide you hate them down the track, you can just change them later.
On the Stream Deck side, it’s got pretty much everything you could want. It could just be a numpad if you’re doing a spreadsheet, or shortcuts for Discord and your streaming software of choice. Alternatively, you could program the keys to have shortcuts for Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, or all the major editing software apps.
Obviously, it’s not just for productivity. You could also set up the Stream Deck with macros you need to play RTS games, or shortcuts for anything you can think of. The screens in the keys change depending on which profile you have loaded up, so you don’t have to try to remember what the nondescript shortcut button does.
Like on the regular Stream Deck, if the profile you want doesn’t already exist, you can make it exist. You can then easily cycle through all the profiles and widgets you have loaded up using the dial.
It’s the most functional and useful all-in-one keyboard for gamers, streamers and professional editors I’ve ever seen, and I have seen so many keyboards. It’s just so customisable, and designed to be intuitive (assuming what happened in the demos translates to real life).
Release date and price
Of course, something this fancy comes with a price tag that is physically painful. It’s US$350, which raw converts to AU$525, but will likely be closer to $600 once you factor in GST (though perhaps the lack of tariffs will cancel that out). If you compare it to the price of the Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard ($349) and a Stream Deck+ ($299), you can see how you could start mentally justifying dropping almost $600 on a keyboard.
Based on Corsair’s online listing, the keyboard is scheduled to start shipping by the end of the month. We’ll have to wait and see whether there’s a gap between the US and Australian launch.
Other items on display included the very impressive (and pretty) Corsair Sabre V2 Pro CD Wireless Gaming Mouse, which is the carbon fibre version of the Sabre V2 Pro from last year. At a ridiculous 55g, it is extremely light. It’s also going 8000Hz hyper-polling and 120 hours of battery life. There was also a really fancy mousemat that will be incredible for esports pros, and look pretty for the rest of us.
My review unit of the Corsair Galleon 100 SD has just arrived, so keep an eye out for my full thoughts soon.
