Keyboard Description:

Modern computer keyboards were modeled after and are still very similar to classic typewriter keyboards. Many different layouts are available around the world but most keyboards are of the QWERTY type.

Keyboards may be wired or wireless but they always communicate with the computer via PS2 or USB connections, usually located on the motherboard. Even though the keyboard sits outside the main computer housing, it is an essential part of the complete system.
