Higround Pays Homage to Xbox's Halo Video Game Franchise

Higround, a company that produces computer accessories, has partnered with Xbox to release a series of limited-edition products commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Halo video game franchise. The collaboration consists of two distinct lines — one collection features designs directly inspired by the Halo universe, while the other draws its aesthetic from the user interface of the original Xbox console.
Higround's Halo Collection boasts the brand-new Basecamp 96+ keyboard, the premium Summit 65+, and the high-performance Basecamp 65HE. The capsule also includes two Halo-themed mousepads. The Xbox Collection, on the other hand, boasts an Xbox UI themed Basecamp 75+ and keycap set, and a matching mousepad.
Higround CEO and Co-Founder Rustin Sotoodeh shares about the launch: "My entire childhood was defined by late-night LAN parties with friends, all huddled around. That game is a core part of who I am, and it’s a shared memory for millions. With this collection, we wanted to create something that honors that nostalgia and gives fans a way to own a piece of that legacy. It's a way of bringing those memories to our desktops today."
