Computer Keyboards

 

A computer keyboard is what you use to type with on a computer. Most keyboards nowadays are QWERTY keyboards, which means that the letters Q - W - E - R - T - and - Y are the first six letters of the keyboard as you count from the top left side.

Computer keyboards have been in existence as long as there have been keyboards. In fact, in comparison to the mouse, the keyboard dates back a lot earlier.

Computer keyboards are mostly formatted after typewriter keyboards, and remain the most common means of human-computer interaction. 


Even though there are many ways that humans can input information into a computer, the keyboard remains the most useful and popular form of interaction.

Keyboard keys usually have symbols on them, which represent functions that the key in question can perform. Traditionally, keyboards have been considered devices for inputting letters, numbers, and symbols into text style documents and word processors, though nowadays the keys can perform any function that the software has them set to perform.

Some computer keyboards are designed to function differently than standard keyboards. For example, there are gaming keyboards that allow you to do things like save key combinations.

There are also keyboards that are made of a flexible material, allowing the keyboard to be folded up when not in use.

There are also computers that allow you to type entire syllables instead of just individual letters or syllables....these types of keyboards are popular with court reporters and closed captioning reporters, because they allow a typist to type extremely fast.

There are also ergonomic computer keyboards, and computer keyboard stands, that are specifically designed to help reduce wrist fatigue that can lead to carpel tunnel for typists. These keyboards are angled in the middle to relieve muscle pressure associated with prolonged stints at a keyboard.
