INTRODUCTION
KEYBOARD IS AN INPUT DEVICE.
The keyboard, like a typewriter, is used for enteringcharacters (such as letters, numbers and symbols).
-> Keyboard layouts are different.The Qwerty keyboard was designed in 1868 inMilwaukee by Christopher Latham Sholes, whoplaced the keys corresponding to the most commonlyused letter pairs at opposite ends of the keyboard, in
order to prevent the typewriter hammers of the timefrom becoming jammed with one another. This keyboard was f irst sold by the company Remington in1873.

Dvorak
In 1936, August Dvorak (a professor at theUniversity of Washington) created a keyboardwhose keys were arranged solely witheff iciency in mind. The Dvorak keyboardplaced all the vowels of the alphabet and thef ive most common consonants on the central row so they could be easily accessed, whilealso evenly dividing the work between the leftand right hands.

How it works
When a key is pressed, an electrical contact is formed between the row and column.The electric signals are transmitted to a microcontroller, which sends a code (BCD,
ASCII or Unicode) to the computer describing the character which corresponds tothat key.
Inside the keyboard, there are metallic plate, circuit board (key matrix) andprocessor, which are responsible for transferring information from the keyboard to
the computer.

Types of keyboards
There are four types of keyboards for PCs. The first
three were invented by IBM, while the latter is the result of
changes made when Microsoft Windows 95 was released. These
are the four kinds of keyboards:
The 83-key keyboard (PC/XT)
The 84-key keyboard (PC/AT)
The 102-key keyboard, called the extended keyboard
The 105-key Microsoft Windows 95-compatible keyboard.

1) PC/XT keyboards(83 keys)
This was criticised for the arrangement of
thek
eys(
espec
ia
lly the Shift and Enter
key
s)
which were too small and poorly placed).No LED indicator.
2) PC/AT keyboards(84 keys)
This keyboard corrected the errors , by resizing the Shift and Enter keys.
Additionally, the keyboard was bidirectional, meaning that it could
display its status using LED indicatorlights
3) Extended keyboards(102 keys)
This new keyboard included different blocks of keys: The f unction keys were moved to
the top of the keyboard, while cursor control keys, represented by arrows, were added
Microsoft Windows-compatible keyboards
These three new keys are, from left to right:The l eft Windows key,The right Windows key
The Appl ication key.

The Scroll Lock key is more useful underDOS where pressing it will stop text on the screenfrom scrolling off the top of the screen. This gives you time to read or print it beforecontinuing.
Pause key is little used under Windows. Under DOS it is used to halt actions in
progress, often so that messages on the screen can be read before they scroll off
the screen.
SCROLL LOCK
PAUSE
TAB KEY

When the Caps Lock key is on, pressing any alphabetic key will result in an upper case(capital) letter. The number and symbol keys are not affected.
SHIFT KEY
The Shift key is used in combination with the alphabetic keys to get upper case.With a numeric/symbol key, using the Shift key will produce the character at the
top of the key.
The Control key does nothing all by itself. It must be pressed in combination withother keys. When used in combination, the Control key changes the normal effect of akey. Exactly what will happen depends on the software in use at the time.

ALPHABETK EYS
The letters of the alphabet and some punctuation marks are in these three rows.The order of the keys is called QWERTY from the order of the keys on the top row.
This arrangement of the letters was inherited from the typewriter.

key down while pressing the key. Numbers can also be typed from the NumericKeypad.
