For the vast majority of us, the PC keyboard has remained unchanged for nearly 30 years: while the best keyboard models may connect wirelessly, have super clacky keycaps or deliver profiles so low they're barely visible the actual layout doesn't really change from keyboard to keyboard. But Microsoft has decided to change that, and it's all AI's fault.
It's nearly 30 years since the last big change to the PC keyboard, which was the introduction of the Windows key. And now Microsoft has another big change: the Copilot key. As Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer, explains: "The Copilot key joins the Windows key as a core part of the PC keyboard and when pressed, the new key will invoke the Copilot in Windows experience to make it seamless to engage Copilot in your day to day."
