Keyboards & Mice FAQ
The first commercial typewriter, called the Remington Number 1, was designed by Christopher Sholes and used the "QWERTY" keyboard we are all familiar with. The story goes that he arranged the keys with the most common letters in hard-to-reach spots, to slow typists down and keep the typewriter from jamming. Learn more about QWERTY keyboards.
Most optical mice use a small, red light-emitting diode (LED) that bounces light off that surface onto a complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. A recent innovation is a laser-based optical mouse sensor that detects more surface details compared to LED technology. Learn more about how optical mice work.
As you type, the processor in the keyboard analyzes the key matrix and determines what characters to send to the computer. It maintains these characters in its memory buffer and then sends the data. Learn more about how keyboards work.
