Overview
• If CPU is a computer’s brain
• Then input devices are its sensory organs—the eyes, ears, and fingers.
• you interact directly with input devices and only indirectly with the CPU.
• The most commonly used input devices are the keyboard and the mouse.

The Keyboard
• The primary input device for entering text and numbers
• Standard keyboard includes about 100 keys
• Each key sends a different signal to the CPU
• Must be proficient with keyboard
• Skill of typing is called keyboarding
• It is the ability to enter text and numbers with skill and accuracy
![Page 6: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Standard Keyboard Layout
• The IBM Keyboard. It has about 100 keys arranged in five groups
• (The term IBM-compatible computer refers to any PC based on the first personal computers, which were made by IBM. Today, an IBM compatible PC is any PC other than a Macintosh computer.)
3A-7
![Page 8: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Alphanumeric Keys
• The alphanumeric keys: The area of the keyboard that looks like a typewriter
• Keys are arranged the same way on almost every keyboard.
• Sometimes this common arrangement is called the QWERTY (pronounced KWER-tee) layout because the first six keys on the top row of letters are Q, W, E, R, T, and Y.
3A-8
![Page 9: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Alphanumeric Keys
keys having specific functions– The Tab key moves you to predefined tab stops in
many application programs (such as word processors).
– The backspace key erases characters you have just typed
– Caps lock key lets you "lock* the alphabet keys so they produce only capital letters.
– The Enter key lets you finalize data entry• used to choose commands and options in many
programs

The Modifier Keys
• The SHIFT, ALT (Alternate), and CTRL (Control) keys are called modifier keys
• They modify the input of other keys• Holding down a modifier key while pressing
another key, changes the second key's input in some way
• For example, if you press the “j” key, you input a small letter j.
• But if you hold down the shift key while pressing the J key, you input a capital J.

The Numeric Keypad
• Located on the right side of the keyboard
• Looks like a calculator's keypad, with its 10 digits and mathematical operators (+, -, *, and /)
• The NUM LOCK key, forces the numeric keys to input numbers
• When NUM LOCK is deactivated, the numeric keypad's keys perform cursor movement control and other functions

The Function Keys
• In most programs, F1 is the help key
• F2 key renames selected files and folders
• F3 will change the text from uppercase to lowercase . Vice versa
• Most IBM-compatible keyboards have 12 function keys.
• Along with modifier keys give the function keys more capabilities.

How the Computer Accepts Input from the Keyboard
Input from the keyboard is complex When you press a key, a tiny chip called the
“keyboard controller” notes that a key has been pressed.
It places a code into part of its memory called the “keyboard buffer”, to indicate which key was pressed.
(A buffer is a temporary storage area that holds data until it can be processed.)
keyboard controller then sends a signal to the computer's system software, notifying it that something has happened at the keyboard3A-22
![Page 23: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
system software receives the signalit determines the appropriate response.When a keystroke has occurred the
system reads the memory location in the keyboard buffer that contains the code of the key that was pressed
The system software then passes that code to the CPU.
3A-23
![Page 24: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The keyboard buffer can store many keystrokes at one time.
This capability is necessary because some time elapses between the pressing of a key and the computer’s reading of that key from the keyboard buffer.
With the keystrokes stored in a buffer, the program can react to them when it is convenient

![Page 25: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This all happens very quickly. Unless the computer is very busy
handling multiple tasks,you notice no delay between pressing
keys and seeing the letters on screen.

The Mouse• All modern computers have a mouse
today
• Allows users to select objects– Pointer moved by the mouse
1). Mechanical mouse– a small rubber ball that protrudes through a
hole in the bottom of the mouse's case– The ball rolls inside the case when you
move the mouse around on a flat surface
![Page 28: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Mouse
– Inside the mouse, rollers and sensors send signals to the computer
– telling it the distance, direction, and speed of the ball's motions
– Rubber ball determines direction and speed
– The ball often requires cleaning

The Mouse
• Interacting with a mouse:– use a mouse to move the pointer to a
location on the screen, – “a process called pointing(pushing the
mouse across your desk)”– In multi-button mice, one button must be
designated as the “primary” button, referred to as the mouse button.
![Page 34: Interacting with your computer](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/54c862be4a79599d198b458f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The MouseActions involve :– pointing to an object– Clicking selects the object– Clicking and holding drags the object– Releasing an object is a drop– Right clicking activates the shortcut menu– Modern mice include a scroll wheel
