Author Topic: Where do I get a Russian/English Keyboard???  (Read 1808 times)

I was wondering where I could get a 'Russian/English' computer keyboard?  Price is a concern.  My girl said she can get one for $10 in Russia.  Do I need converters or some other considerations I have my girl bring one with her?

Thanks for the your input.

I picked one up in Kyiv for $10. It was made in China but works as well as any standard keyboard that I have used. No adapters nessecary but make sure the she gets the proper size plug for your port (large or small). I think most computers now days use the smaller size plugs.

Sometimes it's a little confusing using it (especially in low light) as the Cyrillic letters are in red and offset on the keys but it was a great investment. My wife was thrilled to see that I had made the effort to accomodate her needs to comforably correspond with her family and friends when she arrived.

I have used keyboards with key stickers and overlays and IMHO this is a better choice. I mean for $10 you can't go too wrong. You could get two separate keyboards and switch back and forth if the back of your computer is readily accessable but this is a hassle at best.

One thing you can do, is Russify your computer with fonts, then place cyrillic stickers on your keys. This will allow the same keyboard into your computer. You then have hot keys that allow you to switch on the fly! Perhaps someone has knowledge of Microsoft offers.
