INPUT DEVICES
An input device is a piece of equipment used to enter data into a computer system.

Input devices can be categorized into three

  1. Text input devices
    • Keyboard – a device to input text and characters by depressing buttons (referred to as keys), similar to a typewriter. The most common English-language key layout is the QWERTY layout.
  2. Pointing devices
    • Mouse – a pointing device that detects two dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.
    • Trackball – a pointing device consisting of an exposed protruding ball housed in a socket that detects rotation about two axes.
  3. Gaming devices
    • Joystick – a general control device that consists of a handheld stick that pivots around one end, to detect angles in two or three dimensions.
    • Gamepad – a general handheld game controller that relies on the digits (especially thumbs) to provide input.
