It’s not an extension. It’s in the `game` aisle. its going to be an oval block

The keyboard extension allows hardware to simulate a keyboard, so when you plug in the hardware, the computer thinks it’s a keyboard. You can use code to like do, `When button A is pressed, press the enter key`

I have a question regarding keyboard Ext. It only seems to work with a button pressed block and I would like to keyboard type in a logic function. Any help would be appreciated

so the keyboard extension will only work on hardware (meowbit, pybadge, pygamer, etc.) and it should just work if you have the device plugged in to the computer.
Basically, the device will pretend to be a keyboard and send key events over a protocol called [HID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_human_interface_device_class)
