teclados


Explanation:
La distinción entre "keyboard" y "keypad" es principalmente de forma, no si las teclas son exclusivamente numéricas o alfanuméricas. "keyboard" se emplea principalmente para teclados de ordenador u otros teclados de forma similar (sean qwerty o no lo sean), mientras que "keypad" se emplea más para teclados como en los teléfonos móviles, porteros automáticos, sistemas de alarma, PLC y otros sistemas industriales de control, etc.

En el caso de la frase que indicas ("Also manufactures keyboards and keypads."), yo propondría "También fabrica una (amplia) gama de teclados" o "También fabrica una (amplia) variedad de teclados".

Saludos.
