• Features: The standard keyboard is the 104-key (QWERTY) keyboard. They now come with additional keys for the Internet and other functions. The majority of computers come with the traditional type of keyboard.
• Design: There is a large variety of keyboards with different shapes that you can choose from. The contoured keyboard  with its recessed keys allows a more natural placement of your fingers on the keyboard. You should choose the type of keyboard that is most comfortable for you to use.
• Size: Try to get a keyboard that will fit the allowable space on your desktop.
• Comfort: Some keyboards make a 'clicking' sound during typing while others will have a softer touch and the keys are easier to depress. Choose the one that will allow you to type with efficiency and ease.
• Ergonomic Keyboard: The keys on ergonomic keyboards are tilted at a 45-degree angle thus making it possible for you to type and still keep your wrists and forearms in a straight and natural position. I suggest that you invest in one so as to help to prevent wrist injury.
• Wired or Wireless? Wired keyboards are the most cost-effective option, but a wireless computer keyboard is a better choice for entertainment programs, creating work flexibility, and for large workspaces where your computer keyboard is far from your computer.
• Connectivity: Wired computer keyboards connect to your computer through a USB or PS/2 port. Before shopping for a computer keyboard, make sure you know what port type you have available. USB ports are faster than PS/2, which makes USB a better choice for gamers who need quick response. Adaptors  are available to convert USB to PS/2, and some keyboards will include the adaptor at no extra charge.
