A computer mouse is an input
device that is most
often used with a personal
computer. Moving a mouse along
a flat surface can move the onscreen cursor to different items on
the screen. Items can be moved or
selected by pressing
the mouse buttons (called
clicking).
A computer keyboard is an input
device used to enter characters
and functions into
the computer system by pressing
buttons, or keys. It is the primary
device used to enter text. A
keyboard typically contains keys
for individual letters, numbers and
special characters, as well as keys
for specific functions.
