Other people, such as housewives at home and children in lower grades of elementary school.

An important factor in operating a Japanese word processor is to accurately store the character arrangement of the keyboard. If the character arrangement of the keyboard is stored, it is possible to concentrate on the CRT screen or liquid crystal screen, which is the display unit, without observing the keyboard during operation, and it can be expected to significantly improve the input speed.

As the character arrangement of the keyboard of the Japanese word processor, the JIS arrangement, the new JIS arrangement, the Japanese syllabary arrangement, and the like are known, but some training is required to get used to them. For this reason, some Japanese word processor manufacturers are developing input practice software to make it easier to remember the keyboard character arrangement.

[0011]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a keyboard for inputting characters such as kanji and hiragana according to the present invention.

The keyboard 1 of the present embodiment has a character arrangement according to the JIS arrangement, and the character keys 2 themselves are colored to form a row of Japanese syllabary, and each row is divided into different rows. is there.

For example, the character key 2 for line A is red, the character key 2 for line A is orange, the character key 2 for line A is pink, the character key 2 for line A is dark brown, The letter key 2 is purple, the letter key of the row is light green, the letter key 2 of the row is blue, the letter key 2 of the row is green, the letter key 2 of the row is brown, the letter of the row is The keys 2 are colored black and colored.
