Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994::Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

No, fuck you. It’s hard enough to find a keyboard with Ctrl and Alt in the positions I prefer these days. I don’t need any of the current keys smaller to make room for another one, the only times I hit that stupid key between them is quickly followed by cursing. I remove the windows key from my gaming keyboards because I don’t need it, FN is also a pain, especially when there’s no fn lock toggle. Why don’t we just use that as an alternate key? Microsoft go fuck yourself.
Plus, fuck them for putting another Microsoft logo on keyboards.

Um… that’s your example of a “wild” keyboard? I would’ve gone with a “Steno” keyboard. Which is inspired by the custom keyboards used in court houses to write transcripts. Typing on them is crazy fast too.
Or just https://artsey.io ('cause why use 2 hands when you can use one)
Looks like my next keyboard is going to be a mechanical one. I don’t want a “copilot” key that I won’t use!
I mean, it seemed pretty obvious from the headline, but the article specifies that while they’re doing this, it’s not like they can somehiw make the 100s (if not thousands) of different keyboard manufacturers include this key…
What might happen later is they require OEM products to have it when they come with Windows.
Which would still really only be an issue for laptops.
And I’m pretty sure even people with “gaming laptops” don’t use the built in keyboard most of the time.
I dunno tho. I’ve never been able to understand the people who buy gaming laptops.

I don’t want that, plus in the article they say it’s only to open copilot search. Which you can already do with windows+c. And who asked for copilot search? Not to be mean but the basic window search somehow never works right for me and always bring me on the Edge browser instead of opening my files. So if they could fix that instead of bringing AI to still not give me what I want other than a statisticaly correct sentence that would be nice.
I highly recommend PowerToys Run (something like Mac’s Spotlight) with Everything plugin (better search).
Add the f25 key for “fuck Microsoft” x25
I’m already not using 30% of my keyboard’s keys so it’d only be one more😅
Anyway, I don’t plan on using anything windows related for the rest of my life except in a VM.
