Microsoft Introduces New Copilot Key to PC Keyboards

The new key, marking the first significant change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades, will activate Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot.

Microsoft is introducing a new key, the Copilot key, to PC keyboards for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The Copilot key will activate Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, which can help users navigate Windows, analyze documents, and write emails.
The new key will replace the menu key that currently sits to the right of the spacebar.
The Copilot key will start to appear on new Windows 11 PCs from Microsoft's partners in the days leading up to and at CES, with availability set to begin later in January.
The introduction of the Copilot key is seen as a significant shift toward a more personal and intelligent computing future where AI will be seamlessly woven into Windows.
