This document discusses different types of computer input devices. It introduces keyboards, mice, scanners, joysticks, and digital cameras. Keyboards allow data entry by pressing keys and come in standard, multimedia, and wireless varieties. Mice are popular pointing devices that can be clicked and come in serial, PS/2, optical, and wireless options. Scanners digitally input data using technologies like OCR, barcode readers, and MICR. Joysticks are pointing devices used to control game movements. Digital cameras capture images in digital form for computer storage and interpretation.

2. • Introduction
• Types of Input Device

3. Introduction
Computer cannot understanding our language because it understands
only machine language and it can be possible using some devices are
called input devices. When we
work with computer we need to enter data and instructions
to the computer using these devices
These devices convert data and instructions to a form that
can be recognized by the computer.

4. Types of Input Device
•Keyboard
•Mouse
•Scanner
•Joystick
•Digital camera

5. Keyboard
Keyboard is the most commonly used input devices.
They allow data entry into a computer system by pressing a set of keys neatly
mounted on a keyboard.
Contains some extra command keys and function keys that affect the
operation of computer or keyboard itself
Types of keyboard:
(1). Standard keyboard
(2). Multimedia keyboard
(3). Wireless keyboard

6. Mouse
Mouse is the most popular point-and-draw device It is a must-
have input device on modern personal computers Has 2 or 3
buttons and can be clicked or double-clicked to perform tasks
Optical mouse doesn't have a ball but uses a laser to sense the
motion
Types of mouse:
(1). Serial mouse
(2).PS/2 mouse
(3).Optical mouse
(4). Wireless mouse

7. Scanner
Data scanning devices are input devices used for direct data entry into a
computer system from source documents
Common scanner devices are:
(1). Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) reader :- used by banks to
process large volumes of cheques and drafts
(2).Optical Mark Reader (OMR) scanner :- scanningthe answer sheet of an
objective type test in whichanswers are marked by darkening a square or circle
spaceby penci
l(3).Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanner :-used for direct reading of any
printed character
(4). Barcode reader :- used to read the barcodes printed on practically every item
purchased from a departmentstore

8. Joystick
•A joystick is a pointing device that works on the principle of
trackball
•To make the movement of the spherical ball easier, it is placed in
a socket with a stick mounted on it
•On most joysticks, a button on the top is provided to select the
option currently pointed to by the cursor
•Commonly used for controlling player movements in video or
computer games

9. DIGITAL CAMERA
•A computer with a vision-input device consists of digital camera
•The camera creates an image of the object in digital form so that It
can be stored and interpreted by the computer
•The digitized image of the object is matched against similarly
formed pre-stored images in the computer's image database
