There is a different type of keyboard called a “capacitive keyboard”, but you probably don’t have it.

I can only try:

IF this type of keyboard — that doesn’t involve circuits when pressed — were used on Shabbos (without typing – just using the arrow keys and <Enter>), what issur (if any) would transpire that would prevent the usage of a computer (that was already on) via this technology on Shabbos?
