- Keyboard - is the most popular way of inputting data, is a slow mthod of input for large amounts of data, is inaccurate as it is easy to make mistakes, needs typing skills so it is hard to use at the start.
- Mouse - input devices as they are used to issue instructions by making selections, when the mouse is moved a pointer or cursor moves on the screen mirroring the movement of the mouse. selections can be made. a scroll wheel can be used to scroll through long documents. A mouse is used for drawing lines etc.
- Special Keyboards for the disabled - braille keyboards make it easy for blind users. for those who have failing vision, there are keyboards with large coloured keys.
