=== Mouse and keyboard ===
A [[mouse (computing)|mouse]] and [[computer keyboard]] are typical [[input device]]s for a [[personal computer]] and are currently the main game controllers for [[Video game|computer game]]s. The mouse is often used with a [[mousepad]] to achieve greater speed, comfort, accuracy and smoother movement for the gamer. Some video game consoles also have the ability to function with a keyboard and a mouse. The computer keyboard is modelled after the [[typewriter keyboard]] and was designed for the input of written text. A mouse is a handheld [[pointing device]] used in addition to the keyboard. For games, the keyboard typically controls movement of the character while the mouse is used to control the game camera or used for aiming. While originally designed for general computer input, there are several keyboard and mouse peripherals available which are designed specifically for gaming, often with gaming-specific functions built-in. Examples include peripherals by [[Razer USA|Razer]], the "Zboard" range of keyboards and [[Logitech]]'s 'G' series. The numeric [[Keyboard technology|keypad]] found on the keyboard is also used as a game controller and can be found on a number of separate devices, most notably early consoles, usually attached to a joystick or a paddle. The keypad is a small grid of keys with at least the digits 0–9. A [[Gaming keypad]] is a specialized controller used for [[first-person shooter|FPSs]], [[Real-time strategy|RTSs]] and some arcade type games. These controllers can be programmed to allow the emulation of keys, and macros in some cases. These generally resemble a small part of a keyboard but may also feature other inputs such as [[analog stick]]s. They were developed because some of these games require a keyboard to play, and some players find this to be awkward for such a task. The mouse and keyboard input is also known by the abbreviation "MnK".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lemay |first=Ryan |date=February 7, 2024 |title=MW3 and Warzone Finally Improves Precision and Responsiveness of Aiming While Using a Mouse |url=https://dotesports.com/call-of-duty/news/mw3-and-warzone-finally-improves-precision-and-responsiveness-of-aiming-while-using-a-mouse |access-date=May 15, 2024 |website=[[Dot Esports]]}}</ref>
