A keyboard includes a fingerprint input unit, a storage unit, a switch unit, and a control unit. The fingerprint input unit receives fingerprint information of a user. The storage unit stores a fingerprint model. The control unit is connected to the fingerprint input unit, the storage unit, and the switch unit. The control unit receives the fingerprint information of the user from the fingerprint input unit and compares the received fingerprint information with the fingerprint model stored in the storage unit. If the received fingerprint information is consistent with the fingerprint model, the control unit controls the switch unit to be turned on, to output a control signal to power on a computer connected to the keyboard.
