Keyboard connection types
Wired
Keyboards can be connected to your computer with a cable (wired) or using wireless signals (wireless).
Wired keyboards are connected to the computer using a cable (generally USB) and do not require additional power source, such as batteries.
Wireless keyboards use Radio Frequency (RF) or Bluetooth (BT) to connect to your computer. Cable clutter is reduced and gives you the flexibility to use the keyboard from a more comfortable position within a few meters from the computer. Such keyboards require batteries to operate.
A keyboard that uses RF technology usually ships with a receiver that you must connect to your computer. Bluetooth keyboards can pair with your computer’s built-in Bluetooth card or an external Bluetooth adapter.
