This is my special Technology Box. It's the best laptop in the world. It's small and light and I can carry it in a special bag. When I open it there's a screen for me to watch DVDs and read my emails. I can put a small webcam on it so my friends can see me when we chat. I also carry my pens and pencils under the keyboard, which I use to write. My pen drive, which goes below the pencil sharpeners, can carry a lot of information, especially music and photos. I can listen to my music through the speakers or use my headphones.

I have two questions about this passage.
I also carry my pens and pencils under the keyboard, which I use to write.
In this sentence, I think the pronoun ‘which’ doesn’t refer to ‘pens and pencils’ because it’s too obvious for them to be used to write and it’s needless to say that. I think the ‘which’ refers to the noun ‘keyboard’. But I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say use a keyboard to write.
My pen drive, which goes below the pencil sharpeners, can carry a lot of information, especially music and photos.
In this sentence, I wonder if the verb ‘goes’ means ‘is used’ or ‘is connected’.
