Most Chinese use QWERTY keyboards with Roman letters. Input is done, typically, via Pinyin which is the most common Romanization of the Chinese language. Typically, you type the word then the tone number.

The written Chinese language isn't really very compatible with typed input. You'd need a huge keyboard to make it work, or you'd have to build the characters from strokes and that would probably be slower than Pinyin.]]>May 10th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/first-non-latin-domain-name-goes-live-trips-out-browsers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/first-non-latin-domain-name-goes-live-trips-out-browsers/
There's nothing call "Chinese Keyboard", Chinese in are using US Standard QWERTY, and works just fine.
btw, Japanese porn are way better, and again you don't need to have a Japanese JIS keyboard to type Japanese as well.
