LOS ANGELES – NOVEMBER 6, 2023 - Higround, the trailblazing lifestyle and gaming peripheral brand, is proud to join forces with the iconic anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!, a series that has etched its mark on pop culture history.

The release commemorates the timeless saga of Yu-Gi-Oh!, a narrative steeped in ancient artifacts and the quest for unrivaled power.

The release unveils three iconic keyboard designs, featuring the revered Blue Eyes White Dragon, enigmatic Dark Magician, and the formidable Exodia. Each design will launch on Higround's Performance Basecamp 65 Keyboard, Basecamp 65 Keyboard, and exclusively, Exodia will feature on the Summit 65 2.0.

Alongside these legendary keyboards, the release will also introduce five brand-new mousepad designs, a specially crafted shirt, and a unique Jellybag. These additional pieces complement the collection, providing fans with a comprehensive array of meticulously designed peripherals.

“For this collaboration, we wanted to recapture the magical feeling of collecting your first card,” says Rustin Sotoodeh, CEO and Creative Director of Higround. “As such, Konami granted us a rare privilege—special access to the original card art of our favorite monsters. From there we recreated the classic cards, but with a unique twist—using our collectible keyboards as a canvas. The result was some of our best designs yet, I can't wait for people to experience this release.”
