Peripheral brand Higround and esports organization 100 Thieves have collaborated to introduce the Vantage Collection, a range of premium gaming peripherals that merge competitive-grade performance with distinctive design. The lineup comprises three mechanical keyboards—the Summit 65, featuring an aluminum bottom frame and transparent polycarbonate top with a gasket-mounted design; the Basecamp 75+, offering a 75% layout with a function row; and the Basecamp 65HE, equipped with customizable magnetic switches and rapid-trigger SOCD. Complementing the keyboards are the Yuma Wireless Mouse, weighing under 50 grams and built around a PixArt 3395 sensor; an XL mouse pad measuring 90 × 40 cm; a Team Issue memory-foam wrist rest; and an 84-key PBT dye-sub keycap set designed for 75% layouts.
The Vantage Collection is scheduled to launch on August 1, 2025, at 12 PM PT, with products available exclusively through Higround’s website—where subscribers gain 15-minute early access—and at select retailers including Best Buy and Micro Center. Following 100 Thieves’ acquisition of Higround in 2021, this collaboration aims to deliver esports-trusted hardware that addresses both high-performance demands and lifestyle aesthetics for a broad audience of gamers and creators.
