Yes. Input devices are examples of computer hardware. Computer hardware is all the physical parts of a computer. Scanners, keyboards, CD-ROM drives, mice, and cameras are all types of hardware.

No, it is an example of input hardware device.

However, since the keyboard device as a whole contains the actual keyboard (the set of buttons and keys) and some status lights (CAPS or Num Lock LEDs, for example), a typical keyboard device can also be described as a combined input and output device.

Few will call it that though, given that the by far dominant function is that of an input device, and that the output function is supplementary in nature, not essential for operation.

A keyboard is both, an input device and a piece of hardware. Hardware is physical, you can touch and hold it. Software is an idea. Its there but you cant pick it up and toss it. An input device is anything that requires human or robotic interaction to send software to other hardware.
