- Microsoft revives PC accessories with Incase, rebranding classics like the modern mobile mouse and keyboards.
- Affordable, ergonomic and wireless options headline the new lineup, starting with 23 versatile accessories.
- Surface remains Microsoft’s premium device, combining cutting-edge technology with its distinctive Surface brand.
Some people may not know that until very recently, Microsoft made computer accessories, and it looks like Microsoft is dipping its toe into this again. In fact, the company has a considerable history of creating PC accessories, from ergonomic keyboards to high-precision mice. After discontinuing its own brand of PC accessories last year, Microsoft partnered with Incase to bring some of them back.
Incase published a post announcing the partnership starting in 2024, promising to combine the expertise of both companies to bring you 23 computer accessories to start with and possibly more in the future. You can get products that some might recognize, like the Modern Mobile Mouse or the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, but now with the Incase logo and branding.
What Incase and Microsoft have to offer
In practical terms, these accessories will work just as well as the originals and come at great prices that won’t make you jump out of your seat. For example, the $24.99 Mobile Mouse 1850 is a lightweight, reliable wireless mouse that’s perfect for everyday tasks, while the $39.99 Modern Mobile Mouse offers a sleeker design with better performance for professionals on the go. . This new line also includes compact, ergonomic, wireless keyboards, along with headphones and a webcam.
While Microsoft has almost completely abandoned the PC accessories market, its Surface range includes Surface-specific equipment, such as the Surface desktop keyboard with its AI-powered Copilot+ key, showing Microsoft’s commitment to its premium Surface line. So whether you’re looking for trusted classics with the new “Incase Designed by Microsoft” label or cutting-edge technology with the Surface brand, Microsoft has something for everyone.
Those familiar with Microsoft computer accessories will probably appreciate this announcement. While some have complaints about products like Microsoft 365, Edge, and of course Windows, they are still a very reliable company and with Incase’s collaborative efforts, I think they will have pretty decent quality for the price.
