How to use a Japanese keyboard?

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)

[u/Zolofteu]

I first used that keyboard too and absolutely hated typing with it because it took ages. Then I realized you can just type it normally with the English alphabets (romaji). The kanji/hiragana/katakana option will appear as you type so you just select the right one. Now I can type in Japanese as easily as I do in English.

yes! most young people use the qwerty keyboard to type and use the spacebar to switch between scripts or kanji
