Microsoft discontinues branded peripherals after 40 years

Microsoft has announced that it will stop producing its Microsoft-branded peripherals, including mice, keyboards, and webcams, to focus on its premium Surface-brand devices. The company has a long history of producing peripherals, including the famous Microsoft Mouse, which was introduced in 1983. Microsoft will continue to offer a range of PC peripherals under the Surface name, which includes keyboards, mice, and other accessories built with premium materials such as aluminum, magnesium, and Alcantara fabrics. It's not clear at this point whether any of the existing Microsoft-brand peripherals will be rebranded under the Surface moniker.
