Acoustic Keystroke Logging
The section on keystroke logging does not mention that keystrokes can be inferred with a high degree of accuracy by analyzing the audio of typing using 18-year-old technology. Combined with the fact of almost universal audio monitoring (for "personalized ads") this is a relevant security concern.

Word Repetition
In the second paragraph, there is a repetition of words:

...other keys or simultaneous key presses can prompt the computer to execute system commands, such as such as the Control-Alt-Delete combination used with Microsoft Windows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qucchia (talk • contribs) 14:23, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have rewritten the lead section because it had ceased to comply with wp:LEAD: a succinct summary of the body content. It had become overloaded with detail that belongs in the body. Comment welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:38, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Do we have the ability to move some discussions for other articles because the repetition especially the useless one is not about keyboard or rather rearly it could be about some software or hardware disfunction, I hope we don't have such any more? --Studierendj5236 (talk) 11:03, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you be more specific? Which material in which article(s)? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:37, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

First computer keyboard?
Knowledgeable guys out there, I find it quite lacking for the "History" section of the article "Computer Keyboard" to jump from the keyboard for punching cards (before computers, 1930s) to the addition of the mouse (1980s). Please add a candidate for the first alphanumeric keyboard. The Whirldwind Mark I article says "In 1955, the Whirlwind Mark I computer was the first[7] computer equipped with a keyboard-printer combination with which to support direct input of data and commands and output of results".

Multiple references to unreliable source
This article contains several references to "Complete Computer Hardware Only". this source is heavily based on content from Wikipedia (see pages 440-443) making it a circular reference. Technove (talk) 11:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

small boards
There ought to be a section on reduced boards, such as those with only 34-42 keys, which rely on firmware "layers" to access characters other than letters. Where would it fit? —Tamfang (talk) 01:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Modern keyboards
Key mechanical response to "thumbing" it, with the electrical connectivity response for the computer maybe additional topics. --195.24.52.66 (talk) 10:36, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
