Microsoft is adding its first major key to the standard Windows keyboard layout in 30 years. In a blog post, the company announced a new Copilot key for Windows 11 PC keyboards, automatically bringing up Windows' flagship AI feature.
In a brief video, the firm introduced the design of what is set to become a new standard addition to our PC keyboards. We've already seen the key on Dell's new XPS line, and Microsoft suggests we'll see the new key on more laptops announced in the lead up to CES, as well as at the show. Systems packing Copilot keys are set to become available from late February throughthe Spring, including on some new Surface devices, Microsoft says. At the time of writing it isn’t clear whether Microsoft will make the dedicated key mandatory for Windows 11 OEMs.
