BREAKING NEWS! your keyboards are now obsolete.

Marketing?
Yes you're right for sure. Eyes on their AI over others clearly as people in this thread have stated. And the "regular user", if they have a dedicated button, will certainly press it and use Co-Pilot, more than if it was only a keyboard shortcut.

I guess I was just commenting from the frustrated, this is stupid, this shouldn't be this way, position... ;)
 
I am irritated that they replaced the right control key. I use right ctrl. What I don't need is a right windows key, why could they not have just used that?
 
All the more reason for the market to transition to custom keyboards with VIA compatibility. Unfortunately that's not going to help much with laptop keyboards.

I can only think of a single time I chose to use co-pilot and that was an attempt to get a nuanced search result which admittedly provided me with results that would have been much more difficult to get using traditional search, but that kind of once or twice a year usage does not transition to a desire for a dedicated key on my keyboard.

that actually is a good idea...or at least get keyboards that can be easily remapped to whatever you want. which brings up the question...how easy / hard is it to do that?

My limited experience with VIA over two different keyboard models suggests that it's certainly doable, but not quite at the polished state we'd want for mainstream consumers. The hardware requirements appear to be at the point that it's cheap enough for manufacturers to incorporate into their offerings, but it's not universal so each piece of hardware requires it's own proprietary "driver" (for lack of a better word) to plug into the base software.

Aside from the software side of things for remapping keys, they other issue is the lack of ways to easily change the markings on the existing keys, or sourcing replacement keys in the correct profile/row.
 
I have posted about the frustration my difficulty with hitting ctrl+c and ctrl+v consistently causes... over many different keyboards... mechanical, membrane, ergo, etc...nothing has remedied this defect of mine.
