Corsair just announced the Galleon 100 SD at CES 2026, a full-size mechanical keyboard with a complete Stream Deck built into it. Rather than a numpad on the right side, you get 12 LCD keys, two rotary dials, and a 5-inch display–essentially a standalone Stream Deck fused directly into the keyboard frame.

I’ll admit, this is a clever bit of product engineering. The keyboard side is legitimately impressive.

At $350, you’re getting what would otherwise be a premium gaming keyboard plus roughly a $150 Stream Deck in one package. The math almost works.

Nevertheless, I don’t want my Stream Deck attached to my keyboard.

I’ve been using Stream Decks for years. They’re genuinely useful tools, and I’ve recommended them repeatedly in my work. But part of what makes them useful is their flexibility.

My Stream Deck sits where I need it, sometimes to my left, sometimes angled toward me, sometimes tucked away entirely. When I’m writing, I don’t need macro keys staring at me. When I’m editing podcasts, I want those controls front and center.

Bolting it to a keyboard removes that flexibility entirely. Now your Stream Deck lives wherever your keyboard lives, at whatever angle your keyboard sits.

There’s a broader trend here worth noting. Keyboards with OLED displays and LCD keys have become increasingly common.

It makes sense that Elgato, now under the Corsair umbrella, would want to get in on this action. The technology has matured, the software ecosystem is already built, and there’s clearly a market for all-in-one solutions.

I’m sure folks will dig this. Just not me.
