Keyboard and mouse basics
This article is about the introduction of the keyboard mouse PC item.
Using a keyboard
Whenever you use a desktop computer or laptop, you’ll probably use a [url=http://www.keyboardoem.com/computer-
keyboard/]computer keyboard[/url]. The most common kind is called a ‘QWERTY’ keyboard. QWERTY describes the top row of
letters on the keyboard.
What a keyboard looks like
A keyboard is for putting information including letters, words and numbers into your computer. You press the individual
buttons on the keyboard when you type.
The number keys across the top of the keyboard are also found on the right of the keyboard.
The letter keys are in the centre of the keyboard.
The symbol keys to the right of the letters include symbols such as the question mark and full stop.
The keys that surround the letters, numbers and symbol keys on the left, right and bottom of the keyboard help you to
choose where and how you type.
There are several types of keyboards, such as [url=http://www.keyboardoem.com/computer-keyboard/gaming-mechanical-

Using the keys
When you open a document or click in a box to type, you will see a vertical flashing line. This is the cursor, it shows
you where you are about to start typing on a page or screen.
Pressing the 'shift' key allows you to type capital letters and the symbols at the top of the keys.
The 'shift' keys are on the left and right of the keyboard, with the arrow pointing upwards.
For capital letters, hold down the 'shift' key and hold and type the letter.
For symbols at the top of a number key, press down the symbol key and then type the symbol. You can use the
'shift' key to type any symbol at the top of a key.
The 'caps lock' key allows you to write in capital letters. To turn it on, press it once and type. To turn it
off, press it again.
Putting in spaces, moving your cursor and deleting text
The 'space bar' puts a space between words. Press it once to put in a space.
The 'tab' key puts a bigger space between words. Press it once to put in a space.
The 'enter' key moves your cursor down a line.
The 'arrow' keys allow you to move your cursor in all directions on the page or screen - up, down, left and
right.
To delete your typing you need to put your cursor to the right of a word. Press the 'backspace' button to
delete your word. The cursor will move to the left and delete as it goes.
Using a mouse
There are lots of different styles of computer mouse, but most
have a left and a right button.
To hold your mouse, rest your hand over it and put your index finger on the left button and your thumb resting on the
side. The cable needs to be pointing towards the computer. The mouse needs to always be in contact with a mouse mat, desk
or hard surface.
You use your mouse to move the cursor around the screen. The cursor changes, depending on what you are doing on the
computer. As an arrow you use it for moving and selecting things, as a hand for clicking on links when you are on the
internet and it becomes an hourglass when you are waiting for the computer to do something.
Single clicking
You single click with the left mouse button to select things. Just quickly left click and then let go of the button.
Double clicking
You double click with the left mouse button to open things, such as a folder. You need to double click quickly, think
about the ‘knock, knock’ you do on a door.
Drag and drop
Drag and drop is when you move something from one place to another.
First select the item with the left mouse button and keep the button pressed down. Then move the mouse and the item on
screen will move with the cursor. When you have the cursor and item in the position you want, release the left mouse
button.
The item will now be dropped to where the cursor is positioned on the screen.
You use drag and drop to move things around your computer, such as files between folders.
Right button
If you ever accidently click the right mouse button, a list of computer commands will appear. To remove the list just
move the mouse and single click the left button.
Laptop trackpad or touchpad
Laptops can have a built in mouse within the keyboard. This is operated by finger touch. This specialised surface is
used instead of a mouse and needs only very short finger movements to move the cursor across the display screen.
Improve your computer skills
Why not develop your computer skills - there are courses for beginners and beyond. These range from free online
learning through to training, which can lead to qualifications.
While the gaming keyboard mouse
industry has almost completed its quest for true gaming perfection, many of today’s gamers still find themselves
asking that age-old question – should I choose a wired or wireless gaming mouse?
It’s a question that has plagued many over the last couple of decades, with consumers struggling to decide whether or
not the benefits of wireless technology actually outweigh the reduction in gaming performance they sadly lose.
That being said, thanks to huge leaps forward in technology, the gap between wired vs wireless
gaming mice has now become much less apparent. Today’s mice come equipped with new technologies that offer
Lightspeed connectivity and an almost unlimited amount of battery life – making wireless gaming mice more
popular than ever before. Furthermore, wireless mice now bring fantastic gaming performance to the table that really does
give their wired alternatives a run for their money.
With the current batch of high-performance gaming mice giving consumers the ultimate headache when deciding which one
to choose, we thought we’d whip this article together explaining the differences between wired and wireless gaming mice.
We’ll be looking at the main specifications that affect gaming performance, the main differences between the two
technologies, and whether or not you should choose wired or wireless for your next gaming mouse purchase.
So, with that in mind, let’s waste no further time and dive straight into it
THE BEST WIRED OR WIRELESS GAMING HEADSETS TO BUY
If you’re shopping for a gaming headset, you have
a lot of options. While there are some great ones out there, it’s easy to pay too much, to accidentally purchase
a headset that doesn’t work with your desired console or platform, or to get one that’s just uncomfortable. Knowing a
thing or two about headphones might aid in your search, but gaming headsets have only gotten more complicated to
shop for — especially the wireless ones.
For instance, wireless headsets made for Xbox operate without a dongle via Microsoft’s proprietary wireless protocol.
They’ll only work on Xbox consoles or a PC that has one of Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Adapters plugged in, in most cases.
Conversely, if you get a multiplatform wireless headset that includes a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, it’ll likely work on the
likes of the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch (when plugged into the console’s TV dock), and PC — but not Xbox. It’s best to
buy the headset that mentions support for your preferred platform(s) explicitly, or else there’s a good chance you’ll run
into some compatibility issues. Of course, you can eliminate most of the guesswork by buying a wired gaming headset
instead.
This guide focuses on newer options that you’re more likely to encounter at stores as opposed to older models that,
while possibly still being worthy of your money, are often tougher to find affordably and easily online. Also, just to
mention it at the top, I have a large-ish head and that factor obviously played a major role in how I judge the comfort of
these headsets.
You’ll find a few categories below, including the best multiplatform wireless headsets that are compatible
with PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch via its dock, the best Xbox wireless gaming headsets, the best PlayStation
wireless gaming headsets, and the best wired gaming headsets that support the widest variety of platforms, from
console controllers to phones, tablets, and VR headsets that feature a 3.5mm headphone jack.
If you have ever found yourself searching for a new pair of headsets, you have encountered the
overwhelming variety of choice that you are nowadays faced with. Over-the-ear, on-the-ear, noise-
cancelling, wireless, wired… the market seems to be oversaturated with terms, that needs further clarification.
So, how to choose the best headset?
To start with, there is no such thing as the best headset. Rather, it all depends on
your usage and needs. How much time you spend on the phone, what kind of job you do, whether you work in an
open office or what type of phone you’re using – all of these factors will influence
your choice.
But let’s take one step at a time and focus on how to choose
between wired and wireless headsets in the first place. For that purpose, we will
need to look at different work styles, as they play a key role in your choice between wired and
wireless headsets.
If you spend most of your time at your desk, you are probably what is generally defined as desk
worker. You are often on calls with customers, colleagues or other stakeholders. You probably
use desk phones most, but Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business are also part of
your daily routine. For you, clear audio has the utmost importance – there is no place
for questions like “What? Could you repeat, please?”. Perceiving the slightest change in the tone of
voice of your caller can make a great difference in your job. You don’t want to worry about your
equipment – it should work easily and instantly, allowing you to simply focus on the call and the
customer.
If you find this description to be an accurate representation of your workstyle and needs, you will
then be satisfied with wired headset.
Wired headsets often offer a higher definition audio quality than wireless
headsets, while also minimizing the risk of interferences that can happen with wireless signals. This
guarantees perfectly clear audio. At the same time, being plug-and-play, wired headsets can be put in use in no
time – avoiding wasting precious seconds in setting up and connecting your device.
But what if you would consider yourself a road warrior instead? You spend most of your time
on-the-go – in your car, on public transport – running around
to different meetings in the city. Being able to make use of the time you have in between
meetings is of extreme importance to you. That is why you need a device that enables you
to easily take calls from both, your PC and mobile, in the office and on-the-road. You need to be able
to move quickly between working situations, while still hearing and being heard clearly.
Or maybe you’re a corridor worker. You spend most of your time working in the office, both at your desk
and in meetings. You walk a lot around the office building, and you need a device that allows you to talk
while freely roaming office corridors.
In both cases, a wireless headset would be more suitable for you.
Office headset give you the hkmenspa
to move as you like, walking or even running around without the risk of getting tangled in any cords – and
still being able to hear and be heard perfectly. And with most devices nowadays being Bluetooth-enabled, you will
be able to easily connect your wireless headset to both, your mobile and PC.
