Who discovered the computer keyboad?

Depends on WHICH keyboard you're asking about. Christopher Latham Sholes invented the QWERTY keyboard in 1875 when he produced the first commercial typewriter. The name of QWERTY derives from the first six characters on the top alphabetic line of the keyboard. the order of the keyboard consists of the letters you use most on the homerow (asdfghjkl;) But there were other keyboards ahead of that. Piano keyboards for instance. And straight off alphabetical keyboards.
