1. A keyboard is a peripheral input device that allows a user to enter text and commands into a computer. It contains alphabetic keys, numeric keys, special keys like space bar and function keys.
2. When a key is pressed, a circuit is completed below the key allowing a tiny amount of current to flow. This registers the key press with the computer's processor.
3. Common types of keyboards include mechanical, multimedia, wireless, and membrane keyboards. Keyboards can connect via wired or wireless connections like Bluetooth.
