    Input devices are hardware peripherals that allow a user to enter data and instructions into a computer system. Common input devices include keyboards, mice, joysticks, digital cameras, webcams, microphones, and document scanners. Keyboards are the primary input device for entering text, while mice are pointing devices used to manipulate elements on screen. Other input devices have more specialized purposes, such as digital cameras for photos, microphones for audio, and scanners for converting physical documents into digital files. The type of input device used depends on the type of data and instructions expected from the computer system.
