Question

Mention atleast 2-3 differences if possible

Answer 1

The Arrow keys, the numeric pad, delete, two-way tabs, all of the 'F' keys, enter and return. How many more do you want?
Oh - and there's also a difference of about £500 on average!

Answer 2

Typewriter keys, mechanical ones anyway, have a greater travel than keyboard keys. This also means that users have to be careful to let one key fully return before depressing another to make sure they don’t jam.

Keyboards have a small cache memory to hold user key strokes while the computer is processing other tasks and making it wait.

Keyboards have several dedicated special function keys not required by typewriters e.g. The Windows key, context key, print screen etc. Curser keys are present on keyboards but not typewrites though may be on dedicated word processing machines.

As keyboards are intended to be used as an input device for more than one specific application they have several software programmable keys e.g. F1-F12.

A computer keyboard can easily be replaced with another displaying different character sets if, for example, you wish to write a letter in Japanese.
