Keyboards, Mice, and Touchpads

Windows 11 provides basic configuration settings for internal and external keyboards, mice, and touchpads.
Keyboard
Virtually any hardware keyboard you connect to a Windows 11 PC via USB or Bluetooth will work automatically, as will built-in keyboards on laptops, of course. But your PC maker may include a software utility that lets you configure keyboard features that are unique to that device. And Windows 11 has a handful of keyboard-related settings as well.

Oddly, those settings are not found in the same place in the Settings app where you access options for other hardware devices like mice, touchpads, cameras, printers, scanners, and so on (in Bluetooth & devices). Instead, you have two places to check.
Configure text suggestions in Settings
First, open the Settings app and navigate to Time & language > Typing.

The following options are relevant.

Show text suggestions when typing on the physical keyboard. This option is set to Off by default---and is unavailable in some languages---presumably for privacy reasons. But this is a great option to enable: when you do, apps running in Windows 11 will give you suggestions as you type, as you see on mobile platforms.

To select a text suggestion, type UP ARROW and the RIGHT ARROW/LEFT ARROW as needed, and then ENTER.
Multilingual text suggestions. If you enable the option above and have configured Windows with support for multiple languages, you should also enable this feature, since it updates text suggestions to support whatever other languages you use.
The other options here, such as "Autocorrect misspelled words," "Highlight misspelled words," and so on, are all related to the Touch keyboard in Windows 11 that's used on tablets and other touch-capable PCs. We discuss the Touch keyboard a bit in Tablet, Touch, and Pen.
Configure basic keyboard settings with the Control Panel
Though Windows 11 has moved most system settings from the legacy Control Panel to the Settings app, a few holdovers remain. And some basic keyboard settings are among them. Granted, it's unlikely you will need to configure these settings differently.

But if you want to check just in case, the easiest way is to use Search": just type keyboard and then select "Keyboard Properties - Control Panel" from the search results.

Here, you can configure the keyboard's character repeat delay, character repeat rate, and cursor blink rate. Exciting, we know.
Mouse and touchpad
As you should expect, Windows works seamlessly with mice as well as other pointing devices like touchpads. For the most part, you can simply plug in an external pointing device and it will just work.

You manage mouse and touchpad settings by opening the Settings app and navigating to Bluetooth & devices, where you will find sections for Mouse and Touchpad.
In both cases, your PC or device maker will likely provide their own utilities that you can use to further configure the mouse or touchpad.
