Abstract:
1. A keyboard operatively connectable to a computer body, said keyboard comprising: a first memory to store a table in which identification codes of nomenclature layouts are associated with resistance values; at least one resistor having a resistance value substantially equal to any one of the resistance values identified in the table, said at least one resistor to define an identification code of a nomenclature layout of the keyboard, and said at least one resistor comprises a resistive layer; a controller connected to said first memory and said at least one resistor, said controller identifying the resistance value of said at least one resistor and reading the identification code of the nomenclature layout corresponding to the resistance value from the table; and the controller transmitting said identification code to the computer body, the computer body selecting a relevant character table of an operating system based upon the identification code; and a top cover on which keys are arranged, wherein the top cover has an opening corresponding to the position of the resistive layer for irradiating the resistive layer with a laser beam to adjust a resistance value of the resistive layer to a predetermined value.
