Keyboard

A keyboard is a device used to input text data. They generally use switches to input text to a computer. When a key is pressed, the switch under it is flipped, a circuit is closed, and an electrical charge is sent to the computer. The computer reads this charge and transforms it into usable text data that is displayed on the monitor.

Nowadays, keyboards come in many shapes, forms and designs, like the flexible keyboard and keyboards with special buttons.
