Corsair has been expanding its horizons by acquiring other peripheral brands such as Elgato and Drop. The Galleon 100 SD brings together some of the best features from these acquisitions, merging the functionality of Elgato’s Stream Deck with Drop’s keyboard expertise.

The LED buttons are directly borrowed from the Stream Deck, offering a smooth typing experience and endless customization options. However, this bolt-on feature may not be worth the extra cost for most users, who might struggle with the Galleon's large footprint that requires a substantial desk space to accommodate it comfortably.

Unlike gaming keyboards that have been shrinking in size, the Galleon 100 SD is notably wide, taking up 50% more width than standard 65% keyboards. This means users will need ample desk space and room for their mouse, or face limitations on its usage. For those already accustomed to full-size keyboards, this might be a non-issue, but the transition could feel jarring.

Ultimately, while the Galleon 100 SD is impressive in its design and functionality, it remains to be seen if it will find a place in the competitive world of gaming peripherals or if it’s destined to remain a one-off venture by Corsair.
