Day broke strangely it's noted (8)

I believe the answer is:

keyboard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's noted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'day broke strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'day'+'broke'='daybroke'
'daybroke' is an anagram of 'KEYBOARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keyboard that I've seen before include "facility for writing" , "Type" , "Computer input device" , "Piano or computer device" , "Computer essential" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
