Keyboard

                 You use a pencil to write on a paper. In the same way, you need a keyboard to type

                 on a computer screen.













                 A keyboard has small buttons on it, called keys. You can type text on the computer
                 by pressing these keys.

                 Keys on the Keyboard


                 A standard keyboard consists of 101 to 104 keys. These keys are divided into three
                 categories:
                   Alphabet keys             (A–Z or a–z)

                   Number keys               (1, 2, 3, ..., 9  and 0 [zero])

                   Special keys               (Enter key, Spacebar key, Backspace key, etc.)

                                   Number keys
                                                                    Backspace key
















                                          Spacebar key     Alphabet keys         Enter keys

                                   Imagine, you got a magical keyboard. When you will type the name of a
                                   place and press Enter key, it will take you there. You can use it only once.

                                   Where would you like to go using it?



                 Alphabet Keys

                 The keys on which A–Z letters are written are called Alphabet keys. Alphabet keys
                 are 26 in number. They are used to type words and sentences. The alphabet keys are

                 used to type both capital and small letters.
