Inclusion Criteria: * Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial * Have diagnosis of malignant melanoma. * Be \>= 22 years of age on the day of signing informed consent * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0-1 or Karnofsky performance status \>= 70% * Patients must have histological diagnosis of melanoma * Preference is for treatment naive patients that have not gotten previous immunotherapy. However, if approved by principal investigator (PI), patients that have gotten prior PD1 and/or dual immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy may be allowed on this trial if they have progressed intra-cranially or extra-cranially, and have very limited disease progression. * Patient must be asymptomatic at time of getting SRS (day 0) on trial. Prednisone =\< 20 mg/day (4 mg or less of dexamethasone equivalent) for at least 7 days prior to treatment is allowed * Patients with ocular, mucosal and unknown primary melanoma will also be eligible * Patients with 1-10 untreated brain metastases at time of initial brain metastases diagnosis (surgery to at least one of the brain lesions and/or biopsy of a lesion for diagnostic purposes and/or for standard of care purposes is acceptable). If patient has surgical removal of at least one lesion, the investigator would wait for a reasonable time after surgery to start the TTFields, SRS and Immunotherapy. This is typically around 2-4 weeks after resection and clearance by neurosurgery to start the treatment. However, the exact time to start would depend on institutional standard of care practice pattern. Enrollment of patient can take place before or after planned surgery. * Eligible for hypofractionation approach (9 Gy x 3 or 6 Gy x 5). 9 Gyx 3 is preferred approach, but 6 Gy x 5 fractions is acceptable * Eligible for immunotherapy and TTFields. The TTField wires will be removed immediately before the SRS delivery and then reconnected again immediately after SRS each session. The arrays will be left on the skin during SRS. This is to minimize any electrical discharge from the wires that may occur as a result of SRS beams going through the arrays and/or lead to any dose heterogeneity during SRS delivery and/or damage the electrical, battery operated equipment * Be willing to comply with NovoTTF-100M device treatment for at least 75% of the time * Must have caregiver or self support available to assist transducer array exchange. * Prior radiation to the primary and/or regional radiotherapy for melanoma is acceptable. * Baseline labs as within standard of care (complete blood count \[CBC\], comprehensive metabolic panel \[CMP\], lactate dehydrogenase \[LDH\], erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\], etc) are required within 28 days of enrollment. * Have at least one measurable extra-cranial site of disease * Patients must have at least 14 days to recover from all prior treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapies, prior to enrollment on this protocol. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1,500 /mcL (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Platelets \>= 100,000 / mcL (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Hemoglobin \>= 9 g/dL or \>= 5.6 mmol/L without transfusion or erythropoietin (EPO) dependency (within 7 days of assessment) (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR measured or calculated creatinine clearance (glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] can also be used in place of creatinine or creatinine clearance \[CrCl\]) \>= 60 mL/min for subject with creatinine levels \> 1.5 X institutional ULN (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Serum total bilirubin =\< 1.5 X ULN OR direct bilirubin =\< ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 X ULN OR =\< 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Albumin \>= 2.5 mg/dL (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) =\< 1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =\< 1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (performed within 28 days of treatment initiation) * Female subject of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 2 weeks prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. * Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication. Subjects of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for \> 2 year. This is referring primarily to the use of immunotherapy. * Male subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy. This is referring primarily to the use of immunotherapy. * Abstinence is acceptable, if this is the usual life style and preferred contraception for the patient Exclusion Criteria: * Implanted electrical device (TTField is not implanted device, but worn externally) * Sensitive to gel used with electrocardiogram (ECG), electrical nerve stimulation, contact with gel used with Novo-TTF system * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroids (less than or equal to 20 mg prednisone equivalent or less than 4 mg dexamethasone per day at time of start of treatment is ok) therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment * If they have brain metastases located in the brain stem (including midbrain, pons, or medulla) * Inability to undergo MRI evaluation for treatment planning and follow-up * Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroids (less than or equal to 20 mg prednisone equivalent or 4 mg dexamethasone at time of start of treatment is ok) therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment * Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus tuberculosis) * Hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab, ipilimumab or any of its recipients * Hypersensitivity to hydrogel (needed for TTFields) * Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., =\< grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent * Note: Subjects with =\< grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study * Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy * Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer * Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment * Has known history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids (less than or equal to 20 mg prednisone equivalent at time of start of treatment is ok) or current pneumonitis * Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy * Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator * Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial * Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment * Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies) * Has known active hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or hepatitis C (e.g., hepatitis C virus \[HCV\] ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] \[qualitative\] is detected) * Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy * Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed * Implanted pacemaker, defibrillator, deep brain stimulator, or documented clinically significant arrhythmias * Evidence of increased intracranial pressure meets any of the follow criteria of raised intracranial pressure: * Midline shift \> 5 mm * Clinically significant papilledema * Nausea/vomiting related to raised intracranial pressure * Reduced level of consciousness related to raised intracranial pressure
