Discontinued Microsoft accessories revived under new Incase Designed by Microsoft branding

In April, Microsoft-branded mice, keyboards and other peripherals and accessories were dropped from the company's product line. The announcement last year found Microsoft saying: "we are focusing on our Windows PC accessories portfolio under the Surface brand".

Now things have changed a little. What Microsoft said remains true, but there has been something of a twist. A new licensing deal with Onward Brands will see a selection of product brought back under Onward's own brand Incase. A total of 23 pieces of hardware are due to be launched as "Incase Designed by Microsoft" products.

In what is described as a "strategic partnership" between Microsoft and Onwards Brands, numerous devices will be released this year -- although dates have not yet been revealed.

In an announcement about the relaunch Microsoft PC accessory portfolio in 2024, Incase says:

Incase is proud to announce that we'll be offering Incase Designed by Microsoft starting in 2024. As a brand new line of computer accessories, Incase Designed by Microsoft brings together Microsoft’s 30-year legacy of expertise and innovation with Incase's decades of unrivaled performance and sought-after style. We believe in creating a better experience through good design and there's nothing that can stop us from revealing our first 23 designed by Microsoft computer accessories later this year.
