We output a signal on the first horizontal line, and see if we can read it from any of the six vertical lines inputs. Then we output a signal on the second horizontal line, and see if we can read it, and so on for the third. Assuming only one key is pressed (or none), we can identify the key. This “scanning” process could be done thousands of times a second, rapidly enough that it can’t miss our slowpoke human fingers. -[![caption:Click to view interactive schematic (credit: Kragen)](https://blog.za3k.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/schematic-1024x414.png)](http://falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html?ctz=CQAgjCAMB0l3BWK0AckDMYwE4As3sA2SQgdgCYFsQFIaRd0aBTAWiwCgBncQ8bciEK4Q5XHToQALgCcArs24gi-QWFwixE8CFkKllPjkHpIm8VEt7FPMKSMDRY0Rcm75NhmAeDcwl9rSHkro6D4g6Cjmge76PKF8hhFREWaWQXFeiQh8fiKmIm7WSnbZic4F6bGeSUmVlUXBPCpJ6vlpjZneojlC7YU6xfFh4OQoySKlVUNZo+N54PbTTYtGY06TS501vWDrlVPbSip7422ry11r4-6Hg8EA7rxzytdQHE8n61On708-61a60gHx6bwSLxBTwhv1w3V+UOexleqj+KORP0ciMxglaWNBeJMI2RiJhjjh4URFLBERGSVJdN6tV6iOZRiW9NBUySLRZoN5RjKaP8Wj6qUKXI04vAUtF2NlFnOhwJzm5zjlKuiG2lpLS9TSGuhBosBy2oMimz4FoCaOtoutDVBCymC0NDBFFgWjqetyWHokHAASmL-P50IJtBYkNoYAgODIQyJbnt0vBEcnBL6+PLJimlWaE+dblKsBHwGmgzKk5MpeHLHQo-XkHGnuRVSm25b3gnO2Le6XU-BK72RRUyw26NH69AW9KB6bs-HpWG0gPJBXg5UV-lxwxJ03Y+aUvPjwWJmLrWvy0PNykwyk65H9zGZ06M+6uyCEwt-M6U+ubw-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) +[![caption:Click to view interactive schematic (credit: Kragen)](../wp-content/uploads/2023/06/schematic-1024x414.png)](http://falstad.com/circuit/circuitjs.html?ctz=CQAgjCAMB0l3BWK0AckDMYwE4As3sA2SQgdgCYFsQFIaRd0aBTAWiwCgBncQ8bciEK4Q5XHToQALgCcArs24gi-QWFwixE8CFkKllPjkHpIm8VEt7FPMKSMDRY0Rcm75NhmAeDcwl9rSHkro6D4g6Cjmge76PKF8hhFREWaWQXFeiQh8fiKmIm7WSnbZic4F6bGeSUmVlUXBPCpJ6vlpjZneojlC7YU6xfFh4OQoySKlVUNZo+N54PbTTYtGY06TS501vWDrlVPbSip7422ry11r4-6Hg8EA7rxzytdQHE8n61On708-61a60gHx6bwSLxBTwhv1w3V+UOexleqj+KORP0ciMxglaWNBeJMI2RiJhjjh4URFLBERGSVJdN6tV6iOZRiW9NBUySLRZoN5RjKaP8Wj6qUKXI04vAUtF2NlFnOhwJzm5zjlKuiG2lpLS9TSGuhBosBy2oMimz4FoCaOtoutDVBCymC0NDBFFgWjqetyWHokHAASmL-P50IJtBYkNoYAgODIQyJbnt0vBEcnBL6+PLJimlWaE+dblKsBHwGmgzKk5MpeHLHQo-XkHGnuRVSm25b3gnO2Le6XU-BK72RRUyw26NH69AW9KB6bs-HpWG0gPJBXg5UV-lxwxJ03Y+aUvPjwWJmLrWvy0PNykwyk65H9zGZ06M+6uyCEwt-M6U+ubw-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) And this is how most keyboards work.
