Content:

The devices which are used to input the data and the programs in the computer are known as
"Input Devices". Or Input device can read data and convert them to a form that a computer can
use. 
Keyboard : Keyboard is used in the input phase of a computer-based information system.
Keyboard is most common input device is used today. The data and instructions are input by
typing on the keyboard.

Mouse: It’s a
pointing device. The mouse is rolled over the mouse pad, which in turn
controls the movement of the cursor in the screen. We can click, double
click or drag the mouse. Most of the mouse’s have a ball beneath them,
which rotates when the mouse in moved. The ball has 2 wheels of the
sides, which in turn mousse with the movement of the ball. The sensor
notifies the speed of its movements to the computer, which in turn
moves the cursor/pointer on the screen. 

Touchpad: A touchpad is a common substitute for a computer mouse.


Essentially a specialized surface that can detect the movement pf the
users finger and use that information to direct a pointer and control a
computer. It can be found on laptops.
Scanner : Scanners are used to enter information directly in to the computers memory. This
device works like a Xerox machine. The scanner converts any type of printed or written
information including photographs into digital pulses, which can be manipulated by the
computer.

Light Pen: This is an input device which is used to draw lines or figures on a computer screen.
It’s touched to the CRT screen where it can detect raster on the screen as it passes.

Joystick: Are commonly used as a way of controlling computer video games.

Microphone: Captures audio and send it to the computer, where the audio is
converted to a digital format.

Graphic Tablet: Are input devices used for converting hand drawn art work into
digital images. The user draws with a stylus on a s special flat surface.
