Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994::Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

No, fuck you. It’s hard enough to find a keyboard with Ctrl and Alt in the positions I prefer these days. I don’t need any of the current keys smaller to make room for another one, the only times I hit that stupid key between them is quickly followed by cursing. I remove the windows key from my gaming keyboards because I don’t need it, FN is also a pain, especially when there’s no fn lock toggle. Why don’t we just use that as an alternate key? Microsoft go fuck yourself.
Plus, fuck them for putting another Microsoft logo on keyboards.

Um… that’s your example of a “wild” keyboard? I would’ve gone with a “Steno” keyboard. Which is inspired by the custom keyboards used in court houses to write transcripts. Typing on them is crazy fast too.
Holy shit, watching that video was excruciating
Or just https://artsey.io ('cause why use 2 hands when you can use one)
Holy forking shirtballs, the longer I look at that the worse it gets
As a PowerShell scripter, having the backtick and pipe keys moved with the escape and delete in their places would just drive me batty

Is this one supposed to be worse? 'Cause rn it’s marginally better (split spacebar => ~3 keys for each thumb instead of 2.5).

Personally, I find layers more convenient. Like numbers on qwerty…, shift+numbers on asdf…, and all that stuff
I love layers too, caps lock is my escape key/modifier key now and im happy.
Also, do you like to peck and type your numbers using “Fn”, “Fn1”, “Pn”, the illusive green modifier or all of them at once for capital numbers /s

Do they require the windows logo on keyboards?
Its existance and function are part of the keyboard spec, genarically called the “super” key. Theres likely a contract and a social force keeping the logo present and not using the genaric logo. Some Reaserch I found

Looks like my next keyboard is going to be a mechanical one. I don’t want a “copilot” key that I won’t use!
Build your own?
