Microsoft discontinues iconic PC peripherals after 40 years.

Microsoft is discontinuing its Microsoft-branded peripherals and shifting its focus to Surface-branded peripherals, though it's unclear how closely the two lineups will overlap. While some Surface peripherals look virtually identical to their Microsoft counterparts, others don't have any Surface equivalents. The move comes as Microsoft's Surface business has suffered a 30% drop in sales. However, Surface is a premium brand, and Microsoft charges accordingly, which may limit its appeal to some consumers.

Cheaper, budget-friendly accessories may be discontinued, and it is unclear if Surface-branded equivalents will be offered for all Microsoft-branded products. Existing Microsoft-branded accessories will continue to be sold while supplies last.
