100 Thieves x Pokemon + Higround Keyboards and Apparel Collection

100 Thieves partners with Pokemon and Higround for keyboards, keycaps, and an apparel collection featuring starter Pokemon designs.

100 Thieves x Pokemon Higround Collection

100 Thieves combined two massive brands — Pokemon and their keyboard subsidiary Higround — for one of esports’ most ambitious product collaborations. The Pokemon + 100 Thieves collection spans both gaming keyboards/keycaps and a dedicated apparel collection, creating a product ecosystem that serves gamers, Pokemon fans, and fashion consumers simultaneously.

Higround Keyboards

Pokemon + Higround Summit 65 Keyboard 2.0 Blastoise

Higround is 100 Thieves’ keyboard brand (co-founded by Nadeshot), and the Pokemon collaboration produced:

  • 4 Summit 65 Keyboards — premium 65% keyboards with Pokemon character themes
  • 4 Performance Basecamp 65 Keyboards — performance-focused variants
  • 5 Basecamp 65 Keyboards — entry-level options with Pokemon designs
  • Keycap sets — themed replacements for existing keyboards
  • Charizard Summit 65 2.0 — a second-generation edition

The keyboards feature character-specific designs (Pikachu, Charizard, Eevee, etc.) with custom colorways and keycap legends.

Apparel Collection

The Pokemon + 100 Thieves Apparel Collection extends the collaboration beyond keyboards:

  • Clothing items featuring Pokemon characters reimagined through 100 Thieves’ design lens
  • Available at 100thieves.com
  • Premium pricing consistent with 100 Thieves’ fashion brand positioning

The Higround Business Model

Higround represents 100 Thieves’ expansion into gaming hardware, not just apparel. The keyboard brand has produced collaborations with:

  • Pokemon — multiple keyboard + apparel collections
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! — Summit 65 keyboard
  • Attack on Titan — themed keycap drop

This makes 100 Thieves one of the only esports organizations that manufactures actual gaming hardware, not just branded peripherals through partnerships.

Collectibility and Resale

Pokemon collaboration products from Higround have consistently sold out at launch and commanded significant resale premiums. The Charizard editions in particular are treated as collectibles within both the keyboard enthusiast and Pokemon fan communities. Limited production runs and the strength of both brands ensure that these drops retain value well beyond their initial retail price, making them both functional gaming tools and investment pieces.
