AT keyboard

The AT keyboard was a keyboard with 84 keys introduced with the IBM PC/AT computer. It succeeded the 83-key PC/XT keyboard and therefore did not have many of the features seen on modern keyboards such as arrow keys and dual ctrl and alt keys. It was later replaced with the 101-key Enhanced keyboard. Nonetheless, "AT keyboard" remains a popular name for any keyboard that uses the AT connector. Many Enhanced keyboards used this, though it was eventually superseded by the PS/2 connector and many modern computers use Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors instead.
