The Mercury Capsule features four unique keyboards, one mousepad, two keycap sets, apparel, and a multi-functional bag with dedicated pouches for computer peripherals. The PBT dye-sub keycaps feature an extension of the original mountain range featured on the keyboards of the first collaboration, while also presenting a map leading to and alluding to the past of Higround's origin. Two of the four keyboards feature Higround's customary 65% form with the reintegration of Higround's co-designed switches with TTC called White Flames. All of the keyboards feature dual-dampening material, an OEM profile, and hot-swappable PCB's. The similarities stop there. This collection also introduces a keyboard meant to last.

Named after Higround's mountain motifs, the Summit 65 Founder's Edition keyboard is the pièce de résistance of the Mercury Capsule. The Founder's Edition is the first version of the Summit line and is priced at $290 . The keyboard features a solid CNC aluminum frame, which increases the heft and weight of the board, creating a more stable feel. Within the frame are also Summit 65-exclusive features RGB side panels, and a brass medallion with Higround's mountain logo on the back of the board.

Beneath each of Higround's uniquely designed and printed PBT dye-sub keycaps is a switch designed and created by Higround—a first for the company—called the Geo Switch.
