The first computer keyboard was an adaptation of a Remington electric typewriter in the early 1950s and was used on the UNIVAC I computer.
The actual invention probably happened sometime during WW2 on either the British Colossus project or the American ENIAC project but these keyboard ideas did not get built. Colossus was connected to a Baudot teletype that the codebreaker could use to collect cypher statistics on and guide the analysis of the message with, but the teletype keyboard was not used as we would use a computer keyboard (i.e. for entering text and/or commands).

∙ 11y agoThe invention of the modern computer keyboard began with the invention of the typewriter. Christopher Latham Sholes patented the typewriter in 1868. In 1948, the Binac computer used an electromechanically controlled typewriter to both input data directly onto magnetic tape (for feeding the computer data) and to print results. The emerging electric typewriter further improved the technological marriage between the typewriter and the computer.
Now the keyboard evolution has reached up to laser projection keyboard which physically do not carry any keys and Bluetooth laser keyboard that projects a multi-touch keyboard on virtually any flat surface.
