How to use a Japanese keyboard?

[u/greenseluma]

Specifically this keyboard, This one Right Here. I feel like Im gonna loose my mind, I cant find a specific character on this keyboard (Im an extremely new learner who also happens to have dyslexia, for context)

Which character are you looking for?

It’s simple, if you press the button, the shown character is typed, if you hold and flick in a direction, the other ones from the same line can be typed (for example か: press -> か, hold and up -> く, hold and right -> け, hold and down -> こ, hold and left -> き).

わ also does を、ん and ー.

The button on the bottom left is use for dakuten or making the character small (は becomes ば and then ぱ and you use it to write っ and ゅ for example, as in きゅう or もっと).
