    The Cyrillic keyboard is laid out by letter frequency/usage. No need for any stickers. Just learn the home keys and go from there, touch type. Easy.

    You can just as easily install a phonetic keyboard layout (like this one Russian keyboard and Typing Russian: download Phonetic Russian Keyboard layout (transliterated, homophonic, photos) and Standard Russian Keyboard layout). ЙЦУКЕН is going to come in handy in case you are planning to live in Russia, otherwise it is hardly of any use to you. Well, I didn't have any problems using Microsoft IME for Japanese and just typing the words in any roman transcription I want.

    Are you kidding?

    Adj. 1. homophonic - having the same sound
    same - closely similar or comparable in kind
    or quality or quantity or degree; "curtains the same color as the walls"; "two
    girls of the same age"; "mother and son have the same blue eyes"; "animals of
    the same species"; "the same rules as before"; "two boxes having the same
    dimensions"; "the same day next year"
    2. homophonic - having a single melodic line with accompaniment
    monophonic - consisting of a single
    melodic line

    TEACHER: Who can tell me what "homeopathy" means?
    STUDENT: It's the same thing as telepathy, but only gay people can do it.

    PRIEST: If you're really the Devil, say "орёл -- пароль" five times, fast.
    GIRL: That would be much too vulgar a display of power!!

    And here's my attempt to render it in Russian:

    СВЯЩЕННИК: Если ты действительно дьявол, то быстро повтори-ка скороговорку "орёл -- пароль" пять раз.
    ДЕВУШКА: Такой показ могущества выглядел бы слишком вульгарным!!

    (Of course, in the original movie, the priest's line was something like "If you're really the Devil, then break the chains that bind you"; but in one of the hundreds of parodies of The Exorcist, the priest challenges the Devil to repeat a tongue-twister.)
