The number of keys on a computer keyboard varies depending on its type and layout. Standard full-size keyboards typically have 104 to 108 keys, including alphanumeric keys, function keys, navigation keys, and a numeric keypad. Compact keyboards, often found on laptops, may have fewer keys, typically 87 or fewer, by omitting the numeric keypad. Specialized keyboards, like gaming or ergonomic models, may include additional programmable keys or macro buttons. International keyboards may also vary due to different language-specific layouts. Despite these differences, most keyboards share a standard QWERTY layout for the main alphanumeric section
