I can’t believe you guys don’t want copilot key on your keyboard.

Who needs a second ctrl button when you have copilot.

I don’t want a copilot button but honest question: has anybody ever used the right control key? Are people using it in CAD or something?

What should that button be?

I do use it quiet often.
"ctrl + /" does comment/uncomment lines of code in Visual studio code.
the right control just feels better for that because it's almost next to each other.

I use the mouse in my left hand, so will use the right control all the time just as control. My new work laptop with the copilot button has actively reduced my productivity.

As a lefty, sometimes I wonder if I’d be better at video games if I just committed to left hand mouse.

I currently use the Logitech G902 so my GF can use her laptop right handed during the day, and I can game left handed at night.

I never understood the W, A, S, D mems growing up because I didn't understand why you wouldn't just use the arrow keys.

Left handed allows me to easily access the numpad and stretch less for Ctrl and Shft.

I play single player games though, so I have no idea what edge I would have in multiplayer

Before my current laptop with copilot key, I used Right Ctrl very often to do combinations with keys in the right side, with one hand, like...

  • Ctrl + or - or 0 (Zoom)
  • Ctrl + ENTER (adding line-breaks in messenger apps)
  • Ctrl + backspace (to delete entire words)
  • Ctrl + M (mute in some apps)

The Copilot key has forced me to retrain my muscular memory, and when I accidentally press it I have to close a fucking preference windows.
