Minecraft announces official keyboards and mouse pads merchandise

Minecraft has collaborated with Higround to launch keyboard and mouse pads based on the game. This release is long overdue. Countless fans play the game on PCs, and having such special accessories when doing so is amazing. This is all part of the 15th anniversary of Mojang's sandbox title. The developer has been collaborating with many other companies, such as Google and Pringles, to celebrate the occasion.

Let’s look into the different Minecraft x Higround keyboards and mousepads, when players can get them, and more.

However, the stock is expected to be limited. There has been no mention about the price of the items, but based on previous collaborations, the starting price might be over $100.

The Higround website showcases eight uniquely designed Minecraft keyboards, each with a unique spin on the game’s aesthetics. Suffice it to say, there is something for everyone in the collection.

There’s a keyboard that shows Steve and some mobs on the ground. Another has the texture of different ores such as emerald, diamond, coal, etc on the keycaps. One has keycaps with the texture of the classic dirt block, while another features the image of different blocks from the game.

Some of the keyboards are very colorful, while others have a retro, muted tone. One keyboard comes with colored keycaps that make it look like a TNT block: a stretched, rectangular TNT block.

When it comes to the mouse pads, there are five different options to choose from. There’s a mouse pad with the face of a creeper, matching perfectly with the 15th-anniversary cape. There’s also one with the map of the in-game world, which features different biomes.
