Last April, Microsoft discontinued its popular keyboard, mouse, and webcam. According to The Verge, PC accessories are now making a comeback thanks to a partnership with Incase.
The software company shifted away from Microsoft-branded hardware to focus on Surface-branded accessories. “Going forward, we will be focused on the Windows PC accessories portfolio under the Surface brand,” Microsoft senior communications manager Dan Laycock told The Verge in April. As a result, all existing Microsoft-branded computer accessories were sold off and discontinued.

The new partnership with Incase brings Microsoft-designed products back into consumers’ hands, exactly as before, except each product is adorned with an Incase leaf instead of the Microsoft logo.
The first 23 Microsoft-designed accessories are available for viewing on the Incase website, but not yet for purchase. They come with a range of keyboards, mice, headsets, speakers and webcams. The series includes fan-favorite models like the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard and Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse.
Charlie Tebele, CEO of Onward Brands, the parent company of Incase, teased in an interview with The Verge that as part of the partnership, new products designed by Microsoft will be released, including a new ergonomic keyboard.
The products are expected to be available sometime in the second quarter.
