The Chromebook’s keyboard layout is similar to Windows’ and iOS’ keyboard; known as the QWERTY Keyboard, it is a layout which we all are familiar with, and rightfully so since it has been used since 1860’s on Typewriters. There are only minor differences:

  • The A white keyboard key with the label 'Caps Lock'. ‘Caps Lock’ key was replaced with the A search bar with a magnifying glass icon. ‘Search’ Key;
  • ‘Function Keys’ are simple;

A row of computer keyboard keys labeled Esc, F1 through F12, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause, and Break.

  • The A rectangular power button with a stylized power symbol. ‘Power’ key is placed in the same row as the ‘Function Keys’;
  • An all-in-one ‘Touchpad’ which is used to move the cursor, scroll, and right/left click.
