Elgato’s newest peripheral, the Galleon 100 SD, merges a full‑size mechanical keyboard with a 12‑key Stream Deck and a 5‑inch LCD panel. Built on an aluminum chassis, it targets Mac users who juggle content creation and everyday tasks. The device arrives with a wrist rest, two extra USB‑C ports, and a pre‑lubed MLX pulse switch set.

Reviewers found the key feel solid, with 45 g actuation and 80 million keystroke durability. PBT double‑shot keycaps and north‑facing RGB lighting give a premium aesthetic, while the integrated dials and LCD replace the traditional number pad. Plug‑and‑play operation works out of the box, but full customization requires the Stream Deck software and Corsair’s web hub.

The Galleon’s USB‑C rear ports simplify connecting a mouse or external drive, a boon for creators with limited desk space. However, the 1.4 kg weight makes relocation cumbersome, and the lack of wireless connectivity forces permanent cabling. Compatibility spans macOS and Windows, though the web hub only runs on Chrome, Edge, or Opera, excluding Safari users.

In daily use on a Mac Studio workstation, the keyboard proved comfortable for long illustration sessions, with the 8 kHz polling rate eliminating input lag. Streamers praised having their most used commands within fingertip reach, though copying profiles from a standalone Stream Deck required extra steps. Overall, the Elgato hybrid delivers a niche but compelling all‑in‑one solution.
