Analogous structures

Explanation:

Homologous structures are the one that may look alike by appearance but may not serve the same purpose.

While analogous structures may look different from each other but have similar function.

The purpose of having a keyboard is same in case of a typewriter, a laptop, and a smartphone though they look different from each other. Thus, they can be considered as analogous structure.
