Absolutely love the integrated stream deck, been using it to quickly open or close apps, especially recording quick plays, everything can become a tap away which is amazing
Solid keyboard and the Stream Deck integration is great in concept but falls short in reality. The screen for the stream deck is already showing signs of burn-in (only 7 months of ownership) due to the screen saver not activating even though it's activated in the settings. In addition to the burn-in, I've got visible lines running from the top to the bottom, the most visible of which are in the upper most or primary screen (just below the knobs). Other sections of the screens across all of the 9 key pads are showing vertical lines as well, just slightly less. The numpad option shows the lines the most, since those keys are black background with white characters. It's disappointing since I paid such a high price for this keyboard, only to have these issues with what should be the coolest feature.
This IS a nice keyboard, but Corsair locked the customization for this keyboard behind their "Corsair Web App" software. This isn't software; this is a cruddy web application that I have many gripes with. They limit you to only three browsers, and I cannot use my primary browser to control it, which is Firefox. Additionally, you have to close iCUE before you can edit anything, which pauses all of my customizations, like fan speeds, mouse sensitivity, and RGB. The only upside that I see with this application, is to customize my keyboard if I'm using it on Linux, something that iCUE doesn't support.
However, this is too much of a headache to set up, and a lot of the Steam Deck presets that you can pick from are PAID.
The Galleon 100SD is probably the most useful tool ever created in the keyboard category. I use it for at least 4 different programs at one time. I also have an XL but the Galleon does pretty much everything. The feel of the 10 key takes a while to get used to, but once you get the app you like it's awesome.
Not sure yet, very expensive and the Corsair Web Hub cant even detect what the Firmware version is... and my last Keyboard, tho a much cheaper model, from Corsair started double typing and messing up after 6 months, ask me again then, and cant tell if i need a firmware update....so...
This keyboard is amazing and is highly customizable but my biggest issue is when the numbered pad doesn't work. Once in awhile I can use the number pad setting to login to my pc and just annoys me for the price of the keyboard. And the sound board has yet to work on my streamlabs and discord.
