COMPUTER KEYBOARD
The computer keyboard works much like a mouse; many keyboard
shortcuts can eliminate the need for a mouse. Keys are split into different
parts of the keyboard, each providing a specific function. Keyboards differ by
manufacturer and the operating system they are designed for.

A keyboard's primary function is to act as an input device. Using a
keyboard, a person can type a document, use keystroke shortcuts, access
menus, play games and perform a variety of other tasks. Keyboards can have
different keys depending on the
manufacturer, the operating system they're designed for, and whether they are
attached to a desktop computer or part of a laptop. But for the most part, these keys,
also called keycaps, are the same size and shape from keyboard to keyboard.
They're also placed at a similar distance from one another in a similar pattern, no
matter what language or alphabet the keys represent.
Function Keys
Across the top of a keyboard are a row of keys called the Function
Keys. Each key is composed of the letter F and a number, ranging from F1 to
F12. Each of the Function Keys performs a specific operation based upon
what software is being used.
Numeric Keypad
Many larger keyboards have an extra section to the right that contains
the Numeric Keypad. This consists of the numbers 1 through 9, an asterisk, a
slash, a dash, a plus sign, an enter key and a period. There is also is a "Num
Lock" key, which is used to turn on and off the Numeric Keypad.
Navigation/Cursor Keys
The Navigation Keys, also called the Direction Keys, are used to
navigate through documents and websites. Examples of Navigation Keys are
the up, down, left and right arrows.

keyboard. It is used to cancel operations.
