I recently bought a TR1/B on ebay.

I thought I would learn to live with the Japanese keyboard (has English on the keys too).

BUT I then managed to obtain an English (UK layout) keyboard for a TR1MP and have swapped the keyboards over….

So I now have a spare keyboard.

Any reasonable offers considered…..

A Japanese TR keyboard….  :evil:  :evil:

That may have been inspiration enough for me to keep my TR… I would so buy it from you but now it is useless as I have an S.  :|

O kool… Guess it is pretty helpful for me to know since I do want everything JDM…  LOL

But the main reason I want a Japanese keyboard is to keep me motivated to learn my Japanese… I have one of the worst self-dicipline levels ever…  :oops:

Yes I realise I can buy and external but I won’t want to have to connect it and all… I want the Japanese and English symbols there all the time so I can freely switch between the two anytime, anywhere.

You really don’t need a Japanese keyboard to help you learn japanese. Most Japanese actually use ROMAJI (romanized japanese sounds) to enter in text. Their QWERTY layout is essentially the same as the US layout so there’s not a lot of learning you’d need to do. You’d be better served by installing Windows XP (JA) version or Window XP (EN) + Multilingual User Interface pack that allows you run “Japanese Windows XP” which works perfectly fine with an English keyboard and will force you to learn Japanese. The JDM keyboard only lets you switch between IME modes faster.

If I am not mistaken, a TR keyboard is somewhere around $75.

Is it possible to just buy the Multilingual User Interface pack for WinXP PRO?  I have been looking around and have only been able to find WinXP PRO + the MUI together.  Thanks for any help.

Also does anybody know the part number for the JDM keyboard?  I am interested in buying one.
