O, no!

That online keyboard is a product of the last century - non-handy, almost UNusable:

1) Offers only mouse-based input.
People usually complain about such tools (saw zillion times in forums) that it is too tedious to input by a mouse, it's impossible to write
more that one-tow words this way. Practically UNusable for an e-mail or a message to a forum -
easy to verify - try to write couple messages to this forum - each longer than 2 sentences - using that Keyboard

2) Does not let you to correct your text (which is bad for e-mails and for forums) -
authors misinform users, stating,
"...you can edit what you write by placing the mouse pointer inside the text area and using it as you normally do to type and edit texts"

It is just NOT true - try it! Next letter goes ONLY to the very end of the text, so it is NOT possible to "normally edit/correct text" - one can NOT
"place a cursor in the middle of the text" and let Keyboard to insert a letter there.

Nowadays there are MUCH more 'easier-to-use Virtual Keyboards, no comparizon to this old one, please see
