# Keyboard.type() method
Sends a `keydown`, `keypress`/`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
**Signature:**
```typescript
class Keyboard {
type(
text: string,
options?: {
delay?: number;
}
): Promise<void>;
}
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| text | string | A text to type into a focused element. |
| options | { delay?: number; } | <i>(Optional)</i> An object of options. Accepts delay which, if specified, is the time to wait between <code>keydown</code> and <code>keyup</code> in milliseconds. Defaults to 0. |
**Returns:**
Promise&lt;void&gt;
## Remarks
To press a special key, like `Control` or `ArrowDown`, use [Keyboard.press()](./puppeteer.keyboard.press.md).
Modifier keys DO NOT effect `keyboard.type`. Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
## Example
```ts
await page.keyboard.type('Hello'); // Types instantly
await page.keyboard.type('World', {delay: 100}); // Types slower, like a user
```
