∙ 10y agoMost keyboards use the Universal Serial Bus system, but newer models are moving towards the Universal Serial Car. Mobile phone keyboards may use the Universal Serial Bicycle system, which lacks the response time of the USB or USC systems, but is much more energy efficient and a more environmentally friendly connector overall.
