Incase, a well-regarded name in the realm of phone cases and accessories, has recently unveiled a new line of peripherals crafted in collaboration with Microsoft. This partnership marks a significant revival of Microsoft’s previously discontinued devices, breathing new life into familiar products that many users cherished. With this announcement, Incase steps into the world of PC accessories for the first time, expanding its product offerings beyond bags and sleeves.
Reviving Iconic Devices
Last year, Microsoft made the strategic decision to discontinue its range of peripherals, which included popular mice, keyboards, and audio devices, consolidating its focus on the Surface line. For fans of these devices, the good news is that they are making a comeback, albeit under the Incase brand. The initial offerings from this collaboration include two mice: the Modern Mobile Mouse and the Mobile Mouse 1850. Both models are essentially rebranded versions of their Microsoft predecessors, featuring the Incase logo while retaining the design and functionality that users appreciated.
Incase emphasizes that this partnership combines Microsoft’s extensive legacy of innovation with its own commitment to performance and style. While Microsoft continues to produce premium peripherals for the Surface line, such as the Surface Keyboard priced at 0 and the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard at 0, the new Incase products aim to be more accessible to a broader audience.
Future Offerings and Quality Assurance
Incase has also indicated plans to revive other discontinued Microsoft products, including the Sculpt keyboard and mouse, the Wireless Comfort keyboard and mouse, the Modern Mobile Headset, and the Modern Webcam. These items will remain true to their original designs, ensuring that loyal users will find the same quality they remember.
As Incase ventures into the PC accessory market, it brings along the manufacturing expertise and supply chain efficiencies inherited from Microsoft. This transition promises to maintain the high standards of quality that consumers expect. With additional products set to launch in the coming months, the anticipation builds for the next wave of revived Microsoft accessories.
