Higround and SEGA are teaming up again, and the companies have released their newest collaboration. This follow-up capsule draws from Sonic the Hedgehog and Dreamcast themes, bringing SEGA nostalgia into modern hardware design.

Higround describes the drop as a mix of retro optimism and upgraded performance. The company has expanded its lineup with 75 percent and 96 percent layouts, along with its first Hall Effect keyboard. It also notes that the response to the first SEGA bundle showed there was appetite for more art-driven designs and more hardware variety.

Creative Director Rustin Sotoodeh explained that Part 2 allowed the team to go bigger, with five keyboards, coordinated accessories, and playful artwork based on SEGA characters and settings.

The full collection is now available through Higround’s online store. Some designs are also arriving at Best Buy and Micro Center in the US. Prices are listed in USD.

Now Live: Sonic Style Meets Function

The SEGA x Higround capsule is now live, with the entire lineup available through higround.co. Higround also confirms that select designs are arriving at Best Buy and Micro Center. Prices are listed in USD.

SEGA collaborations tend to draw attention, but this one leans into nostalgia in a practical way. Seeing a Dreamcast-themed aluminum layout or Sonic CD art across a desk setup feels like a small nod to a familiar era while still functioning as modern hardware. Higround continues treating peripherals as lifestyle gear, not just equipment, which gives the Drop a distinct personality.

It also reflects a growing trend in mechanical keyboards. Companies are shifting from simple utility to capsule-style releases with themed art and collector appeal. Having Sonic references layered onto Hall Effect switches and compact form factors gives the whole thing a playful twist.

As someone who loved Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast and thinking the visuals were wild for the time, seeing that era resurface through hardware is fun. It feels full circle in a small way. The lineup is available as of today if you want something SEGA-themed for your desk. Which era would you want to see turned into hardware next?
