Complete List of Input Devices

An input device feeds data into a computer by converting it into binary code. Common input devices include keyboards, mice, scanners, cameras, game controllers, microphones, barcode readers, pens, touch screens, webcams, and biometric sensors. Output devices display processed data for users, like monitors, printers, and speakers. Monitors display images from graphics cards, printers produce text and images on paper, and speakers provide audio output and notifications.

Input Devices

An input device feeds data to the computer system for processing. An


input device converts incoming data and instructions into a pattern of
electrical signals in binary code that are comprehensible to a digital
computer.

Here is a list of input devices of a Computer System.

Complete list of Input Devices


 Keyboard
 Mouse
 Scanner
 Digital Camera , Camcorder
 Gamepad, Joystick, Steering wheel.
 Mic
 Barcode Reader
 Pen / Stylus
 Touch Screen
 Webcam
 Biometrics (Thumb impression / Face detection)

Keyboard

Keyboard is the most common input device of a Computer


System. The keyboard resembles a typewriter. Modern Keyboards
have more than just the letter and numeric keys. They have
multimedia keys for volume control, Play / Pause videos etc.
Every single key on a keyboard is assigned a binary numbers to it
which transmits that binary pattern to the computer.
The computer keyboard is used to
enter text information into the
computer, as when you type the
contents of a report. The keyboard
can also be used to type commands
directing the computer to perform
certain actions.

Mouse

Mouse is another commonly used

scanners scan
documents and
produce the results in black & white images. The scanner operates in
the same manner as a Photocopier. A colored scanner works somewhat
in a complicated manner as compared to a simple scanner.

Output Devices
Output devices displays the processed form of data to the end user.

Common Output devices include;

 Monitor
 Printer
 Speaker

Monitor
Monitor is the most important output device of a computer
system. The monitor is the display screen of a computer.
Cathode Rays Tube (CRT) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are the
two types of Monitors. When a video card or graphics card
converts binary information from 1s and 0s into images, these
images are displayed onto the directly connected monitor.

Printers

A Printer takes print commands from a computer and print out


text / images on a paper. Different types of printers are available
for various purposes. A printer for office use must be heavy duty
and fast while for photographs it must produce high quality
prints.
Most laser printers produce black & whiter prints while some can
produce color prints as well.
