Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

    Reading this thread, you’d think Microsoft was fucking the mothers of the commenters here because they dare to add an other button they won’t use on a handful of keyboards …

    Nobody is forcing you to upgrade the keyboard you already have.

    And if you do buy a new one, you can just put on a different keycap or just put a sticker on it if it bothers you that much. Any decent OS will let you disable it software-wise.

      Biggest issue I could see is, as pictured, it replaces a Ctrl key with an unwanted key. Now after a bit of contemplation, I personally never use that one so I don’t have a horse in the race. But I could understand if someone did latch on to that they may be pissed their preferred ctrl key is lost to a pointlessly prominent copilot key.
