Input Devices

There are so many input devices and I am going to tell you about some of the main ones:

The mouse
     A device that controls the movement of the cursor or pointer on a display screen. A mouse is a small object you can roll along a hard, flat surface. Its name is derived from its shape.

The keyboard
Modern computer keyboards were modelled after, and are still very similar to, classic typewriter keyboards. Many different layouts are available around the world but most keyboards are of the QWERTY type.

Web-Cam

 A webcam is a video camera which feeds its images in real time to a computer or computer network, often via USB


Scanner
A scanner is a piece of equipment that lets you import a piece of paper on to your computer screen.

Joystick/Games Controller

 A joystick is an input device that allows you to play games on the computer, or any console that needs one. Mostly joysticks these days are used for flight simulators
