 Alphanumeric keyboard - Definition, explanation
An alphanumeric keyboard is a device with many keys (usually marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numerical digits, and various extra keys.)
The layout of keys on the modern-day English keyboard is called the QWERTY design, based on the most popular typewriter keyboard layout.
This has been further extended to the standard 101-key PC keyboard layout, with the addition of cursor keys, a calculator-style numeric keypad, and two groups of special function keys, and keys for the Windows menu (on IBM and clones) or Apple menu (on Macintoshes).
