I have keys but no locks. I have a space but no room. You can enter, but can't go outside. What am I?

I am a keyboard

Why this works

This riddle plays on the multiple meanings of everyday words. The "keys" refer to the buttons on a keyboard that you press, rather than traditional keys that unlock doors. The "space" refers to the space bar on a keyboard, not a physical room. Finally, you can "enter" by pressing the enter key, but you can't physically go outside since it's an inanimate object. Each phrase cleverly describes aspects of a keyboard while evoking imagery that leads you to think of something more tangible.

Common Wrong Answers

“A piano”

While a piano has keys, it does not fit the other clues about having a space and the ability to enter.

“A computer”

A computer itself does not have keys, space, or the concept of entering in the same way a keyboard does.

“A door”

A door has locks and is meant for entering and exiting, which contradicts the clues in the riddle.
