I mainly use the small Apple keyboards, which are the OADG 109 key layout minus the numpad. Symbols are in different places compared to overseas keyboards (@ is to the right of P and doesn't require pressing shift, and ctrl and caps lock are swapped). It's not a problem except with old or lazy apps that expect them to be in a certain places, like my DOOM3 example. There are a bunch of different Japanese layouts actually, a Japanese company makes keyboards with blank caps so you can use which ever one you like: http://www.pfusystems.com/embedded-keyboard/hhkb/index.html http://www.pfusystems.com/embedded-keyboard/hhkb/index.html There is kana input, but I have yet to meet someone who uses that instead of an IME. I see a lot of people using it on their phones, though.
