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.

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.
