These are some of the uses of input devices:
Keyboard
The Keyboard is the  standard data input and operator         control device for a computer.It consists of the         standard QWERTY layout with a numeric keypad and         additional function keys for control purposes.
Mouse 
The Mouse is a popular  input device. You move it across         the desk and its movement is shown on the screen by a         marker known as a 'cursor'. You will need to  click the buttons at the top of the mouse to select an option. 
Joystick 
The joystick is a rotary lever. Similar to an aircraft's         control stick, it enables you to move within the screen's         environment, and is widely used in the computer games industry. 
The Optical Mark Reader  (OMR)  
The Optical Mark Reader  (OMR) can read information in the         form of numbers or letters and put it into the computer. The marks have to be precisely located as in multiple choice  test papers. 
Light Pen
A Light Pen is a  pointing device shaped like a pen and is         connected to a VDU. 
The tip of the light pen contains a light-sensitive         element which, when placed against the screen, detects         the light from the screen enabling the computer to         identify the location of the pen on the screen.Light pens have the         advantage of 'drawing' directly onto the screen, but this         can become uncomfortable, and they are not as accurate as digitizing tablets. 
Sound Capture 
With the         addition of a sound card in one of the expansion slots of         your computer you can "record" voice or music. The sound card digitizes         the information into a form that the computer can         understand.
Video Capture 
With a video capture  board in one of your computer's expansion         slots you can capture video (photographic) images through         a  video camera. 
The video capture board digitizes         the image.
