Corsair unveils Galleon 100 SD and Vanguard Air 99 keyboards
Key Points
  • Corsair Galleon 100 SD integrates Elgato Stream Deck with 12 LCD macro keys
  • Corsair Vanguard Air 99 Wireless is a 99% layout keyboard with 108 keys
  • Both keyboards feature high polling rates and FlashTap SOCD handling

According to multiple reports, the Corsair Galleon 100 SD features a built-in Elgato Stream Deck with 12 LCD macro keys, a 5-inch non-touch IPS screen, and two tactile rotary dials. It uses Corsair MLX Pulse switches and includes per-key RGB lighting with an integrated mood bar. The keyboard has six layers of sound-dampening and is gasket-mounted. It offers an 8K polling rate, FlashTap SOCD handling, and a dedicated game mode button, but is not wireless. According to Daily Mirror - Main, a reviewer described the integration as making so much sense that the only question is why it wasn't done sooner.

The Corsair Vanguard Air 99 Wireless features a 1.9-inch IPS display, a volume roller, a full-size num pad, dedicated media keys, and six programmable SD-keys. It uses Corsair OPX Low-Profile Switches with 1.5mm actuation distance, 2.5mm total travel, and 45g actuation force. The keyboard supports up to 8K polling rate, FlashTap SOCD, and offers 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. It also provides virtual Stream Deck capabilities via Corsair's Web Hub. The keyboard measures 26.27mm thick, 137mm tall, and 425mm wide, and weighs 928g. According to Daily Mirror - Main, a reviewer described the Vanguard Air 99 Wireless as a grown-up gaming keyboard that is essentially a baby version of the Galleon 100 SD.

Pricing for both keyboards has not been announced, and battery life for the Vanguard Air 99 Wireless remains unknown. It is also unclear whether the OPX switches are hot-swappable.
