On‑screen keyboard

On-screen keyboards are available on almost all computers and tablets,

however, they are generally used in touch screen devices such as tablets

and all-in-one computers. You can select the keys using a mouse or by

touching the keys on a touch screen.

Keyboard connection types

Keyboards can be connected to your computer with a cable (wired) or using

wireless signals (wireless).

Wired

Wired keyboards are connected to the computer using a cable (generally

USB) and do not require additional power source, such as batteries.

Wireless

Wireless keyboards use Radio Frequency (RF) or Bluetooth (BT) to connect

to your computer. This reduces cable clutter and gives you the flexibility to

use the keyboard from a more comfortable position within a few meters

from the computer. Such keyboards require batteries to operate.

Keyboard that use RF technology usually ship with a receiver that you

must connect to your computer. Bluetooth keyboards can pair with your

computer’s built-in Bluetooth card or an external Bluetooth adapter.
