Thread: Russian Keyboard

Ребята, помогите мне, пожалуйста!
I need some help with russian keyboard. I've already learnt to write,
I've setted russian language as option for the keyboard with Windows
XP, but now I'd need a "hardware" facilitation. I know that
stickers with cirillic letters are sold on e-bay, but from the pictures with which
offers are linked with I could see that some buttons are not in the same position
as on my keyboard (I own an Acer Aspire 5610).
Have you seen anything that could fit with my specific keyboard? I ask it
because I noticed that keyboards are not the same between one laptop model
and another one. I'm afraid it could not work anymore (even if I paste stickers)
when I change language, from russian to italian.

May you give me some pieces of advice?

Спасибо

Well, if you can't find the exact stickers you need, you could always make them as your next DIY project.
Just print out Russian alphabet in the size you need and use the adhesive tape to glue them to your keyboard.

I don't understand, what is it about your keyboard layout that prevents you from using individual stickers?

At any keyboard, Russian letters are on the same buttons whatever their position was. Ё-`~, №-#3, Й-Q, Ц-W, У-E etc.

I was out for potatoes this morning and had dropped in a shop on the way to take an Acer Aspire's picture, because buttons aren't visible on those in the web.

For black keyboard, I would recomment 0.8 mm silver paint permanent marker.

I suggest you to use some papers sticking with the adhesive tape...

This is possible to modify keyboard layout with some special software without using a stickers.
