Like most computer keyboards, it has a few special keys.
Every key is equipped with an automatic repeat.
Holding down the key causes the letter or number to be repeated until the key is released. Some of the special character keys have a two speed repeat. The longer the pressure on the key, the faster the character is repeated. This is advantageous when moving the cursor and drawing lines or dots.
