What is it? The keyboard is the most widely used input device and is used to enter data or commands to the computer. It has a set of alphabet keys, a set of digit keys, and various function keys. The layout of the letters on a keyboard is standard across many countries and is called a QWERTY keyboard. The name comes from the first six keys on the top row of the alphabetic characters. Features: Keyboards can let you access functions on documents through their shortcuts. E.g. Ctrl+S = Save, Esc = Escape, Ctrl+Alt+Del = Windows Task Manager etc. Advantages: Keyboards have many advantages such as, they have special keys that perform specific functions, the arrow key situated on the bottom of the keyboard moves the cursor instead of having to move the mouse and keyboards are also less expensive because they come with every computer. Disadvantages: Keyboards also have some disadvantages such as, the person using the keyboard has to learn how to type and also the frequent movement from keyboard to move and back could cause carpal tunnel syndrome (A feeling of numbness, tingling, burning, or aching pain in the fingers when the nerves are compressed or damaged), or very similar, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
