Generally keyboards have 80 to 110 keys. A keyboard consist metallic plate, processor, and circuit board, these all are responsible for transferring the data from keyboard to computer system. There are two main types of keyboards used for computer. First is capacitive type and second is hard contact key type.

Capacitive Key Type Keyboard:

In this type of keyboards a capacitive key of metal plunger is fixed on the underside, this will help in activating the circuit flow. When a capacitive key is pressed, the metal plunger applies a gentle pressure to the circuit board. When we press the keys of keyboard it will be identified by the computer and transfer the information.

Hard Contact Key Type Keyboard:
A hard contact key is another type of keyboard. In this type of keyboard a metallic plate is attached. This metallic helps in connecting circuit board. When we press the keys of this type of keyboard then it pushes the metallic plate and finally touches the circuit plate of metallic portion and hence after completing the whole process information is transferred
