Allegedly another company has licensed the designs forom Microsoft and we're supposed to start offering them later this year... Although there isn't exactly much runway left this year and the only articles talk about the announcement so in January so who knows.

Onward isn't licensing every single one of Microsoft's computer peripherals. Some classics, like the Intellimouse or its modern iterations, for example, don't make the Incase reboot list.

That sucks - the Intellimouse Pro from a few years ago was a fantastic mouse.
