form and function to a typewriter. The difference is the result of output or appearance. If we use a typewriter, we can not remove or undo anything that has type and every single letter or symbol you type in the result we saw in the paper directly. Not so with the keyboard. What we type in the result or output can be seen on the monitor screen first, then we can modify or make changes to a form of writing, typing and other errors. Like the "mouse", the keyboard is connected to a computer

with a cable found on the keyboard. Cable end is inserted into the port located on the computer CPU.
The keyboard is an input device that is used for typing information into the computer and run a variety of instructions or commands into the computer. The creation was inspired by the creation of a computer keyboard typewriter is the basic design is created by Christopher Latham in 1868 and many are marketed in 1877 by the Remington Company.

When you hear the word "keyboard" then our minds can not be separated from the existence of a computer, because the keyboard is a board consisting of the keys to type a sentence and other special symbols on the computer. Keyboard in the Indonesian language means the keyboard or keypad.
On the keyboard buttons have the letters A - Z, a - z, numbers 0-9, keys and special characters such as: `~ @ # $% ^ & * () _ - + = <> /,. ? :: "'\ |, And other special buttons that total number was 104 button. While on Typewriter key number is 52 keys. Keyboards generally rectangular shape, but the current model keyboard is very varied. The most famous keyboard is a QWERTY keyboard that has 101 pieces key (button). Most keyboards have a key that is organized into sections as follows: A. Alphanumeric Key B. Numerical Keypad C. Function Key D. Modifier Key E. Cursor Movement Key.
