The Dreamcast Keyboard is a keyboard peripheral built for the Sega Dreamcast. Though keyboards had existed for consoles in the past, the Dreamcast's keyboard was seen as the first "useful" one, thanks to the Dreamcast's internet capabilities. It was also the first console keyboard to be released internationally in large numbers.
Like normal PC keyboards, the Dreamcast keyboard varies between countries due to different key placements. Also as with other peripherals, special editions of the keyboard were made with different color schemes, the majority of which never left Japan.
Along with the Dreamcast Mouse, the Dreamcast keyboard can be used to play first person shooters such as Quake III Arena, Outtrigger, Unreal Tournament and Heavy Metal Geomatrix (and the leaked Half-Life port). The Typing of the Dead is built for the Dreamcast keyboard, and games such as Phantasy Star Online, Worms World Party, Starlancer and Virtual On: OT are compatible with the device.
