Printer, Mouse and Keyboard

A peripheral device is something like a printer. A connected device that is not a fundamental
component of the computer's architecture is referred to as a computer peripheral. The central
processor unit, power supply, motherboard, and computer chassis housing those three parts make up
a computer's basic building blocks.
It is an output device because that is all it does: output information. Easy! A mouse is used to drag
and click as you move a small cursor around the screen. The cursor will stop if you release the mouse
button. The mouse can't move on its own; the computer depends on you to do it. It is an input device
as a result.

A computer keyboard is an input device that enables a user to input characters—letters, numerals,
and other symbols—into a computer. It is one of the most popular computer input devices. Typing is a
term used to describe using a keyboard. The term "keys" refers to a variety of mechanical switches or
pushbuttons found on keyboards.
