A standard computer keyboard typically contains 104 keys, including letters, numbers, punctuation, function keys, and control keys. This count applies to the common QWERTY layout, which is widely used for English-speaking users. It includes 26 alphabetic keys (A-Z), 10 numeric keys (0-9), 12 function keys (F1-F12), along with special keys like Shift, Enter, Tab, Backspace, Caps Lock, and the spacebar. Some keyboards may have additional keys for multimedia functions, navigation, or customizable shortcuts. Compact or laptop keyboards may have fewer keys, often eliminating the number pad or function keys to save space.
