Computer KeyboardsComputer keyboards are the least fashionable of all PC hardware. They have a bad image and are taken for granted as a boring,uninspiring necessity. They are seen as a purely functional object. Other PC hardware can be upgraded and accessorised. PC monitors can be traded in for flat screen LCD models. Hard drives and graphics cards can be upgraded to the latest models. Wireless mice can be purchased but the keyboard has always remained the same no matter how many flashing lights and extra buttons it may have.

| Computer keyboards have remained virtually the same since PCs began. They still work using QWERTY keyboards with function keys along the top. Manufacturers never tire of trying to find more ergonomically comfortable designs and button layouts but the old design still remains king. The only new development today is the introduction of wireless keyboards, which eliminate the need to attach a cable. Wireless keyboards need the user to be within a certain range for it to work. Wireless keyboards tend to offer the user more comfort and flexibility.

PC keyboards are one of the cheapest pieces of hardware to replace so when they do fail it is often cheaper to buy a new one than have the old one repaired. They are in abundance in computer and high street stores. They all perform the same job so the most basic,cheapest model should suffice for general day to day use. More expensive models often come with more features.Manufacturers are now producing keyboard covers in an attempt to help you personalise your keyboard. These click onto the keyboard in a similar fashion to a mobile phone cover. You can also purchase large buttoned keyboards that help visually impaired and disabled people use it. There are also 'speaking' keyboards and Braille keyboards on the market that assist partially sighted and blind people. Computer keyboards do get dirty very easily because the surface is in constant contact with your hands. Keyboard maintenance is straight forward. If you have a tin of compressed air use it to blast out debris from between the keys. Then wipe the keys over with a cleaning wipe or cotton bud soaked in water. Don't eat or drink around the keyboard. Don't leave a drink on top of your monitor. Spillages are the number one cause of keyboard failure.
