    Keyboards and mice are common input devices used to enter text and control the on-screen cursor respectively. Joysticks are another input device primarily used for playing games. Scanners digitize printed pages and microphones record sound, both converting analog inputs into digital formats for computers. Common output devices include monitors to display information, printers to produce hard copies, and speakers to play audio.

    Input devices:

    Keyboard
    The computer keyboard is used to enter text information into the computer, as when you type the contents
    of a report. The keyboard can also be used to type commands directing the computer to perform certain actions.
    Commands are typically chosen from an on-screen menu using a mouse, but there are often keyboard shortcuts for
    giving these same commands.

    Mouse
    Mouse is a pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is
    typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user
    interface.

    Joystick
    Joysticks and other game controllers can also be connected to a computer as pointing devices. They are
    generally used for playing games, and not for controlling the on-screen cursor in productivity software.

    Scanners
    A scanner is a device that images a printed page of graphic by digitizing it, producing an image made of
    tiny pixels of different brightness and color values which are represented numerically and sent to computer.
    Scanners scan graphics, but they can also scan pages of text.

    Microphone
    A microphone can be attached to a computer to record sound. The sound is digitized, turned into numbers
    that represent the original analog sound waves, and stored in the computer to later processing and playback.

    Output devices:
    Monitor
    A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers. The monitor comprises the display
    device, circuitry and an enclosure. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid
    crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the
    screen size.

    Printer
    A printer is a piece of hardware for a computer. It is a device that must be connected to a computer which
    allows a user to print items on paper, such as letters and pictures. It can also work with digital cameras to print
    directly without the use of a computer.

    Speakers
    Speakers are popular output devices used with computer systems; they receive audio input from computers
    sound card and produce audio output in the form of sound waves. Most computer speakers are active speakers,
    meaning they have an internal amplifier which allows you to increase the volume of the sound.
