Keyboard Description A keyboard is an input device used to enter data into a computer. It consists of an array of buttons or keys, each typically labeled with a character or symbol. When a key is pressed, it sends a signal to the computer, which interprets it as an input. Key Types * Alphanumeric Keys: These keys represent letters, numbers, and symbols. They are arranged in a layout, such as QWERTY, which is the most common layout. * Function Keys: These keys are labeled F1 through F12 and are typically used to perform specific commands or shortcuts. * Modifier Keys: These keys modify the function of other keys. Common modifier keys include Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Fn. * Navigation Keys: These keys are used to move the cursor around the screen, such as the arrow keys and Page Up/Page Down. * Numeric Keypad: This section of the keyboard contains number keys arranged in a similar way to a calculator. Keyboard Layouts * QWERTY: The most common layout, named after the first six letters in the top row. * Dvorak: An alternative layout designed to improve typing speed and reduce finger strain. * Colemak: Another alternative layout that aims to improve typing efficiency. Keyboard Types * Membrane Keyboards: The most common type, with rubber domes under each key. * Mechanical Keyboards: Use individual switches under each key, offering a tactile and clicky feel. * Laptop Keyboards * Laptop Keyboards: Often smaller and integrated into the laptop body.
