Input+Devices

Definition of input devices An input device is any device that provides input to a computer. There are dozens of possible input devices, but the two most common ones are keyboard and mouse. Every key you press on the keyboard and every movement or click you make with the mouse sends a specific input signal to the computer. These commands allow you to open programs, type messages, drag objects, and perform many other functions on your computer.
