Keyboard

A keyboard is the set of typewriter-like keys that enables you to enter data into a computer and other devices. Computer keyboards are similar to electric-typewriter keyboards but contain additional keys. The keys typically found on computer keyboards are often classified as follows:

Alphanumeric keys: The letters and numbers on the keyboard.

Punctuation keys: The comma, period, semicolon, and similar keys.

Special keys: This includes the function keys, control keys, arrow keys, caps Lock key, and so on.

QWERTY

The standard layout of letters, numbers, and punctuation is known as a QWERTY keyboard because the first six keys on the top row of letters spell QWERTY.
