Can I plug my electric guitar into the PC?

Yes, with an audio interface or guitar USB cable selected as the input.

Why does it pick up my keyboard typing?

Stop typing while you tune; the mic hears everything nearby.

Guitar Tuner on PC and Mac

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Open this page in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, click Start tuner and allow the microphone. Laptops have a built-in microphone near the keyboard or screen; hold the guitar's sound hole about 30 cm from it. If you use a headset or USB mic, make sure it is the selected input in your system sound settings, or place it near the guitar.
