KeyboardEnabled

ReadOnly

This property can only be read from. Attempting to write to it will cause an error.

NotReplicated

This item is not replicated across Roblox’s server/client boundary.

Value Type: bool

Description:

This property describes whether the user’s device has a keyboard available. This property is true when the user’s device has an available keyboard, and false when it does not.

It can be used to determine whether the user has an available keyboard - which can be important if you want to check if you can use UserInputService/IsKeyDown or UserInputService/GetKeysPressed to check for keyboard input.

As UserInputService is client-side only, this property can only be used in a LocalScript.
