“Microsoft’s latest keyboards now include dedicated Office and emoji keys,” reports the Verge:

The software giant was previously experimenting with an Office key on keyboards earlier this year, and now the company is launching a new Ergonomic and slim Bluetooth Keyboard that include the dedicated button. The Office key replaces the right-hand Windows key, and it’s used to launch the Office for Windows 10 app that acts as a hub for Microsoft’s productivity suite. You can also use the Office key as a shortcut to launch Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. Office key + W opens Word for example, while Office key + X opens Excel.

Alongside the Office key, there’s also a new emoji key on these new keyboards. It will launch the emoji picker inside Windows 10, but you won’t be able to assign it to a specific emoji or even create shortcuts, unfortunately…

Microsoft quietly launched these new keyboards at the company’s Surface hardware event last week, but they’ll be available in stores on October 15th.
