Do not worry, WinKey is somewhat flaky too. WinKey does not work on NT. This would enable cyrillic keyboard support. Language and checking Enable indicator on taskbar. Open the WordPad application, switch keyboard into Russian state and start typing something. If you see cyrillic letters, then cyrillic support is installed and works properly. After rebooting your standard Russian keyboard will become a phonetic keyboard, just like the one shown above.
The exact layout of keys on Yawerty keyboard is shown here. Test the new keyboard by opening a new file in WordPad and typing to it in Russian keyboard mode. This keyboard layout was generated using Janko''s Keyboard Generator for Windows Then you should find the button shown right above "Enter" on my picture somewhere else on your keyboard.
I do not offer here any keyboard program that say lets you type in Phonetic mode, no - just files - keyboard layout files that will be used by system input software - along with the instructions on how to make such layout work in "RU" mode. These files work with the built-in MS Windows keyboard tools, that is, they work exactly as original layout files provided by Microsoft, no additional software is required.
Note , that the majority of Russian letters - 26 of 33! The point is that there are ONLY such letters and one memorizes their location on a keyboard in just a week of use I personally don't have Windows 10 yet, but several people already wrote to me that this instruction works just fine under Windows Here is what such user wrote: "The only slowdown was the Firewall, I had to allow the exception to run the program.
Windows 8 issue, not really important. There is a cosmetic really ' option that does not work for the newly added phonetic layout: in Control Panel of Windows 7 , one can place a cursor on the newly added phonetic layout and press "Properties" button at the right to see the image of the layout under Windows 8 this is called "Preview" and is inactive for added layouts But again, it does not affect your typing at all. You can see the image of the phonetic layout in this instruction when I offer to see the images of all offered phonetic layouts for you to choose one.
If you already know what Phonetic layout is and just want to start installing it on your computer, then you can skip the explanations below and go at once to the installation details. My phonetic layout that is, a variant of positioning Russian letters on the keyboard has the following characteristics: The Russian letters are in the same place as the similar English ones: 'A'-'A', 'O'-'O', etc.
If you want to use your printer to have this picture on paper then visit this page will open in new window. I did not personally design this variant of placing Russian letters on the keyboard, I just took one of many variants that I found on the Web and modified it.
Most of phonetic layout variants have been around for years. Different variants were accepted by different groups of users, for example, users of then-popular editor ChiWriter used one variant, users of another program - ChemText - used another, etc.
I took as a basis a widely used variant called Y aWert. If you'd like to use a different variant of placing Russian letters, then you can modify my layout after the installation it's discussed near the end of this page, in the "Modify" chapter.
Optional variants. Ready answer for one frequently asked question. In addition to my main variant of Phonetic layout see again the image right above , I've prepared two more layouts because they are almost as often used by people as that main one, so such people would not need to spend time modifying my main layout to obtain one of these two also-famous variants: 1st additional Phonetic layout - YaZHert.
Here is the picture of this YaZHert phonetic keyboard layout: 2nd additional Phonetic layout. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings , and then tap Change PC settings.

Perhaps you did not read my post, or in the event that you actually read it, you did not understand it. I did not create my own Russian mnemonic keyboard layout. I used the out-of-the-box one that Microsoft ships with Windows 8, the one you say doesn't have all the letters. If you had read my post, you would recognize that indeed, all 33 letters of the Russian alphabet can be created using the out-of-the-box Microsoft-written Windows 8 mnemonic Russian keyboard.
What Microsoft missed was the documentation unless I just couldn't find it, which is possible. I created my own documentation, and put it into a post for anyone that wants to use the canned Microsoft mnemonic Russian keyboard but who don't know how to generate the "missing" letters. The part you may have missed, perhaps due to missing documentation, was that the letters that you say are not available on the Microsoft-provided Russian mnemonic layout take two sequential letters to generate, not just a single key.
If you look at the chart accompanying my post, you will see the two-letter combinations which generate your "missing" letters of the Russian alphabet. Similarly, other "missing" Russian letters can be easily generated using appropriate sequences of English language keys. I frankly have found the Microsoft Windows 8 out-of-the-box Russian mnemonic keyboard to be a thoughtful, effective, and superior Russian mnemonic keyboard, albeit an undocumented one.
If you insist on Microsoft doing things the Apple way, then keep hammering on them to change if you want -- but not because they failed to support the entire Russian alphabet as you suggest, but because you prefer the Apple implementation to the one they implemented.
Windows 8 has a number of shortcomings, and I am not a big Microsoft fan in general, but in this case I think they got something right, though they did fail to document how to use it. Let's hammer on Microsoft to fix its bugs, its security loopholes, and its botched apps, and maybe its documentation while they're at it, but it is pretty petty to claim they need to "fix" something that isn't broken, except maybe in the minds of people that prefer another way of doing things.
I played around with the Russian keyboard for maybe 20 minutes, figuring out all the key sequences that would generate the "missing" letters, and documented them in my earlier post, for the benefit of anyone that was initially mystified, as I was, as to how to generate them.
I have both Mac and Windows products, but in this case, I actually prefer the Microsoft mnemonic keyboard because I don't have to think about where the letters that don't easily map are found, I just type in the "mnemonic" two-character sequences.
If you prefer Apple, have at it, but I suggest you lay off the "Microsoft needs to fix their keyboard" language. OK, so your argument is that the initial learning curve of assigning all the keys is a good trade-off against the dual argument of following an emerging standard and the possibility of occasionally generating bad words. Fair enough, but I still think that instead of hammering Microsoft to "fix" its Russian Mnemonic keyboard a better approach would be to invite them to offer another one which followed the emerging standard you reference.
There is nothing in Windows 8 that says there can only be one mnemonic keyboard for Russian -- in fact, I believe that there are 3 keyboards currently offered for Russian why not another? Victor Ortiz de Urbina.
