- Microsoft breathes new life into PC accessories with Incase and gives classics such as the modern mobile mouse and keyboards a new name.
- Affordable, ergonomic and wireless options are the main focus of the new range, starting with 23 versatile accessories.
- Surface remains Microsoft’s focus in premium equipment, combining cutting-edge technology with signature Surface branding.
Some people may not know that Microsoft made computer accessories until recently – and it looks like Microsoft is dipping its toe in again. The company has a significant history of making PC accessories, from ergonomic keyboards to high-precision mice. After discontinuing its own brand of PC accessories last year, Microsoft has partnered with Incase to bring back some of them.
Incase posted a post announcing the partnership that would begin in 2024, promising to combine the expertise of both companies to bring you 23 computer accessories to get you started and possibly more. There are products available that some may recognize, such as the modern mobile mouse or the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, but now with the Incase logo and brand name.
What Incase and Microsoft have to offer
In practice, these accessories work just as well as the originals and are available at great prices that won’t leave you jumping 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 range also includes keyboards that are wireless, ergonomic and compact, along with headsets and a webcam.
Although Microsoft has almost completely exited the PC accessories market, the Surface range includes Surface-specific gear such as the Surface Desktop Keyboard with its AI-powered Copilot+ key, demonstrating Microsoft’s commitment to its premium Surface range . So whether you are looking for reliable classics under the new ‘Incase Designed by Microsoft’ label or advanced technology under the Surface brand, Microsoft has something for everyone.
Those familiar with Microsoft’s computer accessories will likely welcome this announcement. While some have complaints about products like Microsoft 365, Edge, and of course Windows, it’s still a very trusted company, and with Incase’s partnership efforts, I think these will be pretty good quality for the price.
