What is a Keyboard?

person to enter letters, numbers, and other symbols
( CHARACTERS) into a computer. It is one of the most
used input devices for computers. Using a keyboard to
enter lots of data is called typing.
The Braille
keyboard

A Braille keyboard is a special type of


keyboard, usually featuring raised dots,
that is used by visually impaired people to
enter data into the computer. In contrast to
the standard keyboard, Braille keyboards
have a single key that represents each dot.
Qwerty Keyboard

• The QWERTY keyboard is the standard


computer keyboard in countries that use a
Latin-based alphabet. QWERTY refers to
the first six letters on the upper row of the
keyboard. The key arrangement was
devised by Christopher Latham

contains a grid of buttons. Each button

with a computer. Moving a mouse along a flat surface
can move the cursor to different items on the screen.
Items can be moved or selected by pressing
the mouse buttons (called clicking)
Mechanical Mouse

• A mechanical mouse is a computer mouse that contains


a metal or rubber ball on its under side. When the ball is
rolled in any direction, sensors inside the mouse detect
the motion and move the on-screen mouse pointer
accordingly. Today, this mouse has been replaced by the
optical mouse
Optical Mouse

• An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a


light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED),
and a light detector, such as an array of photodiodes,
to detect movement relative to a surface.
Wireless Mouse

• A mouse that connects to the computer


without a cord. They can also be used with a
computer that has Bluetooth or via an adapter.
