You are probably wondering why you would ever need an onscreen keyboard when you have a proper one right in front of you. Well things happen, and trust me, one day you may need it. A friend of mine used it regularly because he was missing a few keys off his laptop keyboard.. They were not cheap to replace either.
It is also great for people with disabilities that find it easier to use a mouse rather than a keyboard. To bring up the on screen keyboard, following these simple steps.
- Click on start at the bottom left corner.
- Choose run and type OSK
- Then the keyboard will come up (pictured below)
Another way
- Click on start at the bottom left corner.
- Then choose All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Onscreen keyboard
If you want to use this keyboard regularly you can make a shortcut to it on the desktop. Here’s how.
- Right click on the desktop
- Choose new. Then choose shortcut.
- Type osk, click next, and then click finish.
- An icon will now be on the desktop.

Wooooot! Another thing I didn’t know. I’m using it right now. It’s a bit slow so I’ll switch back.
It looks a lot cooler than the windows xp version though. But it works. and that accesibility section has some other cool programs as well.
I did have to turn off the annoying click sound.
