Higround, a manufacturer of gaming accessories, teamed up with the Street Fighter series for its first-ever global release, which will be accessible in Europe, the United States, and Japan. The new release features the Basecamp 65 keyboard and two iterations of the Summit 65 keyboard, which have been transformed using Street Fighter motifs and graphics.
The Summit 65, the company's flagship product, has a complete CNC aluminum shell, a gasket-mounted design with Poron foam, RGB lighting with a South-facing LED, a hex screw design for simple DIY adaptations, and the first graphic switch in the world. The keycap pictures depict either Ryu and Chun-Li in a combat scene or the martial artist Akuma.
The collection also features XL mousepads, apparel, and a jelly bag.
