A keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and commands into a computer. It typically consists of a set of keys arranged in a specific layout, including letters, numbers, symbols, and various function keys. Keyboards can be connected to a computer via a wired connection or wirelessly using Bluetooth or other wireless technologies. Users can type text, enter commands, and navigate through applications and menus using the keyboard. Keyboards come in various sizes and designs, including standard desktop keyboards, laptop keyboards, and ergonomic keyboards designed to reduce strain on the hands and wrists.
