iPad style Virtual Keyboard

**viper151** · 12-18-2010, 02:40 PM

Anoyone knows if any virtual keyboard that doesn't have all those extra function keys (I only want the basics) but it's possible with a key to expand them AND at the same time to mark the keys that have just been pushed down?
I've tried a lot of keyboard designers (eg touch-it) but none of them works as the microsoft virtual keyboard on which when you press a key the key becomes white for a while.It's really useful when you type.
If it works then there is no design tool for that specific program. I've used a lot of virtual keyboards but none was good enough

This is my huge struggle with a tablet. I love typing on a regular keyboard. I think the whole touch screen keyboard would start to get annoying after some time.

taptype looks good but unfortunately no trial version (yet). pity the built in on-screen keyboard isn't like that nor has the "option" to become like that i.e. simple with large keys.

The download button is there, but if you click it you get "not ready yet, buy the full version instead."

I went along and purchased taptype.me and... well, I wouldn't really bother. Until a company 'replaces' the standard windows 7 on screen keyboard, It's not going to happen for me.

It's nice, with the obvious large keys, quite a few options but I'm sticking with the standard keyboard (and the other keyboard within Win7) as they can't exactly be called bad at all.

Oh well
