This ‘blurry’ keyboard mimics the look of low-poly PCs in retro video games

Nostalgia by no means goes out of vogue, it simply strikes to new eras. Proper now, the early days of 3D gaming are all the craze, with the newest indie video games aping the low-polygon, low-res texture look of PC and PS1-era video games from the 90s and early 2000s. The newest Higround mechanical keyboard brings a bit of these video games into the true world.

We’ve featured Higround earlier than, who’s no stranger to candy keyboard designs, like this one that includes a full-width Sonic retro print. The “BLUR” variant of the Basecamp 75+ keyboard (noticed by PCGamer) options keycaps meant to imitate the look of in-game computer systems from video games like the unique Half-Life and Deus Ex. No, you don’t must reload the web page, that’s what they’re alleged to appear to be. Even the Higround brand on the spacebar is blurred and pale, as in case your desk itself was being rendered by a GeForce 256 that was chugging on the sport engine.

The keyboard itself is sort of dear at $160 for a wired design with a plastic case, however that is an artsy, limited-edition kinda product. With a 75% format, hot-swap switches (disappointing TTC switches included within the field), RGB lighting, an aluminum plate, and a number of layers of sound dampening, it’s positively not a price proposition.

I sort of want Higround would simply promote me a set of these PBT keycaps alone. The keyboard is restricted to simply two orders per purchaser in the mean time, however the keycaps may present up right here at a later date, just like the Sonic ones did some time again.
