Higround and PRIX Workshop have partnered to craft a new mechanical keyboard that channels the aesthetics of vintage Playstation and Xbox consoles. The white transparent keyboard showcases Higround’s capabilities outside of graphic design, offering consumers a wider collection of offerings. The modifiable keyboard uses translucent keycaps that have numbers, symbols, and letters printed on them in a gray font, and includes Higround and PRIX cobranding on the space bar.
Higround’s list of previous collaborators includes names like Beats by Dre, StockX and Attack on Titan. With the keyboard’s release, PRIX founder Esther Ng hopes that more individuals will feel comfortable in the gaming space with the necessary tools to help them succeed. The Higround x PRIX Workshop keyboard will release on the Higround website on June 24.
