A Computer Keyboard’s Components

Though computer keyboards exist in a variety of styles and

configurations, the fundamental parts of all keyboards are the
same. A standard computer keyboard is composed of the following
components:

1.Function keys.
2.Typing keys
3.Navigation keys
4. Numeric Keys
5.Special keys
1. Function Keys
The standard computer keyboards include function keys spanning from F1 to F10. Some advanced keyboards have   1-F12
function keys. These function keys are located on the keyboard’s top row. For modern improved keyboards, they are labelled
F1, F2, F3, F4, and F12.
 
2. Typing keys
These keys are identical to those seen on an antique typewriter. They are comprised of alphabetic letters, Numbers and Special
Characters such as comma (,), full stop (.), question mark (?) etc.

3. Navigation keys
The Navigation keys are frequently referred to as the arrow keys. The text pointer is moved in the direction indicated by their
arrows using these four keys when typing. Above them are the remaining of cursor-control keys: insert, delete, home, end,
page up, and page down.
 
4. Numeric Keys
The numeric keypad is used by bankers, bank tellers, and line ticket agents especially those that work with figures. It features
keys that function similarly to calculators. Additionally, this keypad functions as a cursor keypad. Its behaviour is determined
by the Num lock keys.
 
5. Special Keys
The “CTRL”, “ALT”, “WINDOW”, “SHIFT”, “TAB”, and “ESC” keys are only a few of the specific computer keys found on
a computer keyboard. These keys were created with a specific function in mind.
