The first keyboard-like device for inputting text was called the "typewriter". It was invented in the 1860s and consisted of a keyboard that could be used to print letters onto paper. The earliest typewriters were entirely mechanical, using levers and linkages to control the movement of the typebars that struck the paper. Over time, electric and electronic typewriters were developed, which made typing faster and more efficient.
It's worth noting that the concept of a keyboard-like device for inputting text is much older than the typewriter. For example, various machines and devices were developed in the 18th and 19th centuries that used keyboards to input information or control machinery. However, these devices were typically specialized and not intended for general-purpose text input. The typewriter was the first device to bring the keyboard into widespread use as a means of creating written documents.
