What are Input Devices ?

✿ The parts of the computer that we interact with us


daily are the input and output devices. An input
device is a hardware device that transfers data to a
computer system and allows us to control it.
Different Types of Input Devices

✿ Keyboard

✿ For entering data into a computer, the keyboard is


the most common and commonly used input device.
It contains various keys for entering letters,
numbers, and characters. Although there are some
additional keys for completing various activities,
the keyboard layout is identical to that of a
standard typewriter. It is generally available in two
different sizes 84 keys or 101/102 keys and for
Windows and the Internet, it is also available with
104 keys or 108 keys. It is connected to a
computer system with the help of a USB or a
Bluetooth device.
Mouse
✿ The mouse is the most used pointing device. While
clicking and dragging, the mouse moves a little
cursor across the screen. If you let off of the mouse,
the cursor will come to a halt. You must move the
mouse for the computer to move; it will not move on
its own. As a result, it’s a device that accepts input.
Or we can say that a mouse is an input device that
allows you to control the coordinates and movement
of the on-screen cursor/pointer by moving the
mouse on a flat surface. The left mouse button can
be used to pick or move items, while the right mouse
button displays additional menus when clicked. It
was invented in 1963 by Douglas C. Engelbart.
Joystick

✿ A pointing device used to move the cursor


around the screen is the joystick. Both the
bottom and top ends of the stick have a
spherical ball affixed to them. A socket
contains the lower spherical ball. You can
adjust the joystick in all directions. Trackballs
became quite popular in laptops and PCs since
they fit neatly inside the case and take up
less room when in use. They are more precise
and long-lasting than a mouse, which is why
they are still utilized. It is invented by
C.B.Mirick.
Light Pen

A light pen is a pointing device


that has the appearance of a pen.
It can be used to draw on the
monitor screen or to pick a menu
item. In a small tube, a photocell
and an optical system are
housed. The photocell sensor
element determines the screen
location and sends a signal to
the CPU when the tip of a light
pen is moved across a monitor
screen while the pen button is
pressed.
Scanner

A scanner is a type of input device that works in


the same way as a photocopier. It’s used when
there’s data on paper that needs to be transferred
to the computer’s hard disc for further processing.
The scanner collects images from the source and
translates them to a digital version that can be
saved on the hard disks. These graphics can be
changed before they are printed.
Barcode Reader

A bar code reader is a device that


reads bar-coded data (data that is
represented by light and dark lines). To
label things, number books, and so on,
bar-coded data is often utilized. It
could be a standalone scanner or a
component of one. A barcode reader is
a device that reads barcodes and
extracts data from them. The code bar
is used to read the bar code printed on
any goods. By impacting light beams
on barcode lines, a barcode reader
identifies existing data in barcodes.
Web Camera

✿ A webcam is an input device since


it records a video image of the
scene in front of it. It can either be
incorporated inside the computer
(for example, a laptop) or connected
via USB. A webcam is a small digital
video camera that is connected to a
computer. Because it can capture
pictures and record video, it’s also
known as a web camera.
