Microsoft releases new Surface Pro keyboard to improve readability

Microsoft has announced the release of a new Surface Pro keyboard that features bold keys with highlighted characters.

Here's What We Know

This innovative move is aimed at making it easier to read text from the keyboard and reducing eyestrain.

Compared to previous models, this keyboard has a brighter backlight, which makes the characters even more visible, especially in low-light conditions. The company emphasises that this keyboard will only be available in English and in limited regions such as the US and Canada.

In addition, the new keyboard also features an adaptive Copilot key that works with an AI chatbot. This feature allows users to enable various accessibility options and provides easy access to Copilot. For example, the user can ask it to turn on live subtitles or turn on a magnifying glass, and it will perform this action for them.

This is the first time Microsoft is releasing its adaptive accessories to commercial customers. The modular mouse, hub, and other accessories that have been available to consumers can now be purchased by commercial customers. These accessories are designed to help people with disabilities use computer keyboards and mice. They create custom settings that meet their needs and help them be more productive.
