Keyboard | Corsair Galleon 100 SD

The more I use the Corsair Galleon 100 SD Keyboard, the more I ❤️ it!!!

I have used a Stream Deck for many years. Integrating Stream Deck functionality directly into a keyboard is next level! 😎

How to be productive with an advanced keyboard

My blogs primarily cover automation and monitoring software. I have used two Stream Decks for several years to manage CLI text entry and product demos. This prevents errors during video production and live presentations. Corsair’s integrated Stream Deck keyboard replaces the standard numeric keypad, which eliminates the need to reach for external stream deck buttons. This integration supports my focus on automation by providing a consistent interface to execute apps, scripts and workflows.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD replaces the numeric keypad with programmable stream deck keys, making automation more accessible. This hardware choice aligns with my goal of creating consistent, repeatable processes. It allows for the rapid deployment of workflows directly from the keyboard.

This product gets 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 in my book!
