Sega and PC gaming accessory manufacturer Higround have teamed up once again to launch a new range of keyboards inspired by the legendary Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and Sega’s iconic Dreamcast console.
Building on their earlier successful 2022 collaboration—which featured designs based on the Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure 2, and Green Hill Zone—this new collection expands the lineup with five innovative designs and additional accessories, all set for release on December 12 via the official Higround website. The latest collaboration brings together the creative worlds of Sega and Higround, delivering fresh, officially licensed keyboard designs for PC gamers and Sonic fans alike.
The five new models celebrate major Sega and Sonic milestones, with art based on "Classic Sonic," Sonic CD, the Sega Dreamcast, Shadow the Hedgehog’s Radical Highway, and the famous Sonic Adventure 2 opening stage, Escape From the City. These designs have been applied across Higround’s award-winning keyboard lineup, including the Summit 65+, Basecamp 65HE, Basecamp 96+, and Basecamp 75+, appealing to a diverse range of gaming and collector preferences.
There is also a Basecamp 75+ keycap set featuring the Sonic CD motif ($69.95), alongside four matching XL Control Mousepads ($49.95) designed to create a cohesive Sega-centric desktop setup. Rustin Sotoodeh, creative director at Higround, highlighted the inspiration behind the renewed partnership.
"The response from fans to our initial Sega collaboration was tremendous, and it quickly became clear that we had to revisit this partnership," Sotoodeh stated in a press release.
He added that the new collection takes a bolder approach by introducing additional layouts and art styles, giving fans even more expressive ways to celebrate Sega’s enduring legacy at their desks. Keyboards in the new range include: - Summit 65+ (Dreamcast Design) – $299.95: This flagship keyboard sports a CNC aluminium chassis, a mirror-like stainless steel back plate reflecting the Dreamcast’s signature style, and the advanced Dampening Plus five-layer system for a premium, quiet typing experience.
It’s aimed squarely at collectors and serious enthusiasts. - Basecamp 65HE (Radical Highway Design): Introducing Hall Effect (HE) switch technology, this model is engineered for optimal speed and precision.
Its design is inspired by Shadow the Hedgehog’s Radical Highway, making it a top choice for competitive gamers. - Basecamp 96+ (Classic Sonic Design) – $189.95: Featuring a near-full layout in a compact footprint, this model uses both Dampening Plus technology and TTC Neptune switches for excellent sound and feel—balancing productivity and Sonic nostalgia. - Basecamp 75+ (Escape from the City & Sonic CD Designs) – $169.95: With a 75% layout, these keyboards combine performance features with dynamic, high-energy art from Escape from the City and Sonic CD, appealing to audiophiles and lovers of RGB lighting. Pre-orders for the full Sega x Higround collection begin December 12 on the Higround website, with select models also available at authorized retailers, including Best Buy and Micro Center.
Collectors and enthusiasts can sign up on Higround’s site to receive notifications when the collection is live. With its expanded range of layouts, modern switch technologies, and iconic Sega art, the new Higround collaboration stands out as both functional hardware and a celebration of Sega’s legacy within the PC gaming community.
