Keyboard

📖 What is it?

Keyboards are the primary text and command input device. Mechanical keyboards use individual switches per key for tactile feedback.

⚙️ How it works

Each keypress actuates a switch (mechanical) or membrane contact, sending a signal to the PC identifying which key was pressed.

🗂️ Types

• Mechanical (tactile/clicky/linear)
• Membrane (quiet, affordable)
• Optical (fast actuation)
• Wireless/Bluetooth
