Microsoft Adds New Keyboard Key After 30 Years—Changing PC Keyboard Layout for the First Time!

What is this new keyboard key for?

Microsoft adds a new keyboard key on its PC keyboard. This is the first time that the software giant integrated a new key since 1994. This means that it would also be the first time that Microsoft's keyboard layout changed after almost 30 years.

The American tech firm confirmed the arrival of the new key on Thursday, Jan. 4. This is a part of Microsoft's artificial intelligence efforts.

Microsoft said that the new Copilot key joins the Windows key as a core part of the company's PC keyboard. The tech firm stated that it expects this innovation to help users engage with Copilot seamlessly in their day-to-day activities.

It added that the new Copilot key is another transformative moment for Windows since this integration will be the entry point into the world of artificial intelligence on PCs.

"Over the coming days leading up to and at CES, you will start to see the Copilot key on many of the new Windows 11 PCs from our ecosystem partners," said Microsoft.

The software giant also confirmed that the new key will roll out before January ends.
