There's two types of connections for keyboard to computers: PS/2 style (which is a little round end with pins on three sides and and a plastic part that determines up from down) --- or the old-style 5-pin DINs (which is about the size of a nickel).

Circuitry-wise, I believe they are all the same. Press a key, and it's programed to correspond with the appropirate ASCII characters.

Styles and key-placement all vary with the different manufacturers.

I believe that the question can only relate to the type of connector that the computer needs for the keyboard to function properly.

There are more different "types" of keyboards than you could shake a mouse at.

Cut and paste these links for the information that may help you.
