Keyboard is the most commonly used input device for computer systems. It has derived from the old typewriter. But it's not actually like a typewriter, however both have many same keys which do similar function like pressing a key and character prints. In general, as a standard way to interacting with computer system, a Keyboard actually used to execute commands not only for typing characters.
A Keyboard a keypad device which consists of keys/buttons that user can press to print character or executing commands. When a user presses it process in this way:
* Keyboard controller detects this keystroke
* Places a scan code in the keyboard buffer that indicates which key is pressed
* These scan codes go through the operating system
* Finally CPU accepts it to print on the screen
These scan codes processes in the form of ASCII codes(American Standard Code for Information Interchange).
