Product Overview
A USB keyboard is a standard keyboard that goes into the most useful and popular port of your computer — the USB port. The “U” in USB stands for universal. This means that you can use it to plug a wide range of peripherals.
Nearly all keyboards on the market today use a USB port instead of the outdated PS/2 keyboard port. The latter is a port developed by IBM. Its purpose is to connect a computer keyboard or mouse to a compatible PC. It features a six-pin mini-DIN plug and socket.
USB keyboards come in various shapes and sizes. The standard, full-size keyboard for desktop PCs is 17 inches. It typically comes in a 104-key layout, which includes a numeric keypad.
If you want something a bit more compact, there’s the mini-USB keyboard. This computer keyboard is typically ultrathin and portable, with a length of 11 inches. A mini-USB keyboard usually has 78 keys and is suitable for desktop PCs.
If you are looking for an affordable USB keyboard, this computer peripheral may be what you need.
