Keyboard

The keyboard is less tiring to use than a typewriter as keys do not need to be pressed as hard. Keyboards have more keys than typewriters and can perform more functions than just typing letters and numbers, such as deleting mistakes. Typewriters cannot delete or undo mistakes. Keyboard keys are often lighter and allow for faster, more accurate typing compared to typewriters.
