The first laptops with such a button will be presented in the next few days
Microsoft decided to make changes to the familiar keyboard. More precisely, all keyboards for Windows PCs. Today Microsoft announced the appearance of a dedicated button to launch the Copilot chatbot.
The button will be located near the right Alt and, depending on the layout, will replace either the context menu launch button or the Windows button.
Of course, Microsoft cannot force all manufacturers to change their keyboards, but the company has enlisted the support of a number of manufacturers, so the first laptops with the Copilot button will soon appear on the market, and the first models will be presented the other day at CES 2024. Considering hype around AI, it is likely that many PC and keyboard manufacturers will quickly pick up this initiative.
Copilot button — This is the first big change to the Windows PC keyboard layout in nearly three decades. Before this, the Windows button appeared on keyboards in the same way.
