Microsoft will stop making keyboards, mice, and webcams that are Microsoft-branded.
Instead, the company will shift its accessory efforts to its Surface brand.
The news comes fromThe Verge, who spoke with Microsoft about the company’s plans.
Microsoft-branded accessories date back decades, so it’s quite a move to see Microsoft shift away from them.
That being said, the tech giant is not leaving the accessory market.
Microsoft will continue to make accessories; they will just be under the Surface brand rather than Microsoft-branded.
Notably, Microsoft does not make a Surface-branded webcam aimed at general consumers.
Microsoft’s Surface revenue, which includes the company’s accessories,dropped dramatically in FY23 Q3.
