Watch On In fact, not only has Corsair posted multiple guides detailing the extensive software controls, but the Galleon also supports plugins from the Elgato Marketplace, so once you have a Galleon, you can sail there right away for customization booty. Notable application-specific plugins include Twitch, YouTube, Discord, OBS Studio, and a multitude of games.
As for the keyboard itself, it's a pretty fancy unit all of its own. It has pre-lubed Corsair MLX pulse linear switches, resting on a gasket-mounted PCB and six layers of sound dampening. The switches are hot-swappable, and you can employ three- or five-pin switches as the board supports both.
All that should provide quite a comfortable and quiet gaming experience, and it's further improved by the 8 KHz polling rate and Flash Tap SOCD. That's Corsair's take on prioritizing the last pressed movement key so that, for example, it's easy to counter-strafe in Counterstrike 2 by pressing the opposite direction without releasing the first.
The Corsair Galleon 100 SD is pricey at $349.99, but it seems like decent value, as a Stream Deck is about $135 all on its own. Corsair says these will ship between January 30 and February 2, essentially two-upping every other potential competitor by actually existing in the market and arriving with an application ecosystem ready to roll.
