Tips

usage
(to knock/strike) is the standard verb for keyboard typing, even more common than (to hit) in modern speech. For the act of writing at the computer generally, 敲键盘 works the same way as English 'hammering away at the keyboard'.
grammar
Used as a verb-object phrase: 敲键盘 takes aspect markers normally — 键盘 ('typed for a whole day'), 键盘 ('while typing').
