INPUT

Here you can observe some examples of peripheral input, this means that they are used to give orders to a computer.

We displayed a keyboard, a mouse and a joystick:

  • The keyboard and mouse are originally from 1994, the original model of Microsoft’s Natural keyboard. It became successful for being so different from the majority of keyboard that existed up until then due to its’ curved format and keyboard split into two halves. The mouse is the model that Microsoft used at the timed, paired with this keyboard. They are both PC equipment since Spectrum has the keyboard incorporated into de mouse device (even though it is lesser known, it did exist and is in another place in this exhibition).
  • The joystick if from the QuickShot range, one of the most known and used with the Spectrum.
