Captain Janeway utilizes a 20th-century keyboard.
22nd century keyboard
24th century keyboard
23rd century Vulcan keyboard
A keyboard was a data entry device with a number of letters and/or numbers on it used in conjunction with a computer.
On Earth, they were initially used in the 20th and 21st centuries with early computer technology, and based on the typewriter.
When Montgomery Scott and Dr. McCoy visited Plexicorp after traveling back in time, Scotty didn't realize that the computers of 1986 still used keyboards to enter information, and tried to access a voice interface. When Dr. Nichols told him to use the keyboard, Scotty noted "Keyboard... how quaint..." and quickly typed up the molecular formula for transparent aluminum. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Another time travel encounter with this technology occurred when Chakotay and Captain Kathryn Janeway had to navigate their way through Henry Starlings computer in 1996. Janeway "pecked" at the keys (pressing one key at a time, slowly, as opposed to typing with most fingers rapidly) as she said that she didn't take the "Turn-of-the-Millennium Technology" class at the Academy. (VOY: "Future's End")
During the 22nd century, a different form of the keyboard was used on most Earth Starfleet ships, such as Enterprise. A keyboard of this type was in front of the computer monitor in each officer's quarters. (ENT: "The Seventh")
By the 24th century, traditional keyboard interfaces had been replaced with LCARS touch-sensitive controls that could be altered to individual taste. Traditionally kept in a panel style, Ezri Dax had an keyboard-style LCARS panel computer in her quarters that she used occasionally, such as when she researched the personnel files of Hector Ilario and Greta Vanderweg. (DS9: "Field of Fire")
