Japanese Keyboard

[Nvr]

I have some questions for any of your that use one because I have really wanted to be able to type Kana and Kanji inside FFXI for a very long time.

1) Any recomendations on a good one?

2) Is there any additional system configurations involved with them? I have Japanese language setup on my PC already, but when I have tried to type Japanese in FFXI in the back, it shows up as "???".

3) How is a Japanese keyboard different than the setup I have now? (English keyboard with the option to type Japanese)

Thanks in advance.

There's a JP button(No, not that one.) and each key can do about 3 different characters. Otherwise they're physicaly contructed the same.

Now im actually curious on this one myself.Since i live in Japan i bought a Japanese keyboard,but it only types in english,the language button doesnt seem ta work.Do i need something for this or is it a software problem? Will it not work on an American pc being a Japanese product?

Your system is english I take it? There's a fiel you need off of the install disk.

Pretty sure you can't type in Japanese in any other release other than the Japanese release due to the use of a specific IME (I guess) built by a third party specifically for the Japanese version.

I think that's what I remember reading. Either way, you can't type in Japanese in the English version without using a third party tool.

So even if I do obtain a Japanese keyboard, I will not be able to type Kana or Kanji on FFXI without using a 3rd party program (which is not allowed)?

I think if you're windowed you can copy and paste it. lol

I'm not sure what this means.

Nope meaning I can't, or nope meaning I am wrong and I can?
