Microsoft hopes that 2024 will be the “Year of the AI PC” and will make major changes to the keyboards of laptops and desktops, adding a new Copilot key to kick off the year.
PC manufacturers and accessory manufacturers working with Microsoft will next equip new laptops and desktops with a new Copilot key, which can quickly use AI-driven Copilot by pressing the key, and provide a chatbot similar to ChatGPT, which can communicate and interact in a conversational manner, and even perform more operations within the Windows system, which is a major change in the layout of Windows PC keyboards in nearly 30 years.
The new Copilot key will replace the menu key (or application key) that was introduced to PC keyboards with the Windows key decades ago. Its location is mostly next to the Alt key on the right, and the specific location may vary depending on PC manufacturers and markets.
“Nearly 30 years ago, we introduced the Windows key on PC keyboards to enable people around the world to interact with Windows,” said Yusuf Mehdi, chief marketing officer of Microsoft Consumer Group. “We see this as another step in the Windows journey. At this transformative moment, Copilot will be the entry point into the world of AI PCs.“
If some countries and regions have not yet enabled Windows Copilot, the Copilot key will instead activate the Windows search function. The existing Windows key can open the Start menu, or form shortcuts with other keys for different functions. As for the Copilot key, it is currently only used as a launch key for the Copilot function, and it is not clear whether Microsoft will pair this key with other keys.
The US Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2024) will open on January 10, and PC manufacturers working with Microsoft will showcase new machines on site. By then, many new Windows 11 machines will be able to see the Copilot key, which will meet the consumer public as early as later this month. Microsoft even announced that the upcoming new Surface machine will also have a Copilot key.
Microsoft has been working hard to integrate Copilot into everything in 2023, and this new Copilot key can be said to be the first step in a larger-scale AI transformation of Windows in 2024.
