Today, most computer keyboards connect to the computer using USB or Bluetooth for wireless communication. Before USB, a computer used PS/2, serial port, or AT (advanced technology) (Din5) as a keyboard interface.

Types of keyboards?

Today, most keyboards are similar but may be missing one or more of the sections mentioned earlier (e.g., the keypad). Where keyboards begin to differ the most is in their construction and design. Some keyboards are mechanical, while others use membrane keys. Some keyboards utilize a standard design, like the Saitek keyboard pictured above, and others are split down the middle, utilizing an ergonomic design. Some keyboards are rigid and always the same shape, while others are flexible and can fold in half or roll up.

Most keyboards use the QWERTY layout, but there are still designs that utilize the Dvorak layout.
