There is no standard computer keyboard, although many manufacturer companies imitate the keyboards of PC's. Mainly keyboard are categorized into three parts.

  • PC keyboard, with 84 keys
  • AT keyboard, also with 84 keys
  • AT enhanced keyboard, with 101 keys

There are several different types of keyboards for the Apple Macintosh. All of them are called ADB keyboards because they connect to the Apple Desktop bus (ADB).

Bottom row: Ctrl, Alt, Space, Alt, Ctrl: 5 keys

Top right: Home, Insert, Page Up, Delete, End, Page Down: 6 keys

Arrow keys: 4 keys

This is a total of 84 keys, 101 with a number pad.

Windows keyboards generally have 2 windows keys and a context menu key, making a total of 87 keys, 104 with a number pad.

Other keyboards have different variations. Eg, function keys, or sound adjustment keys.

Unfortunately, there isn't a "standard" computer keyboard, although most would argue that the QWERTY keyboard with Windows keys (a 104-key keyboard) is the most popular, and therefore the standard.

mikikirk adds- on a QWERTY mac keyboard there are 79 keys not counting the mouse.

The early keyboards on the IBM PC had 83 or 84 keys to handle English alphabet, numbers, special characters and control keys including tab, return, space, shift, delete, insert, arrow keys and and special function keys interpreted by computer programs.

Today the standard keyboard has 101 keys including more functions keys including screen display controls as well as a numeric key keypad. Keyboards for other languages have additional keys to meet the needs of the languages alphabet.
