Use this online Russian keyboard to type Russian characters on computers which do not have a keyboard for typing the Cyrillic alphabet. You can type any Russian character - both small and capital letters. Additionally, you can edit what you write by placing the mouse pointer inside the text area and using it as you normally do to type and edit texts. We hope that this little online Russian keyboard will help you write texts in Russian when you are away from your own Russian computer - for example in an Internet cafe in a foreign country. You can send us an email message in Russian to say if you found this Russian keyboard useful. We understand Russian and we would be delighted to read Russian sentences typed on our own Russian keyboard.

On our keyboard you can type in Russian using the standard Russian keyboard layout ЙЦУКЕН used in Russia. However, this online Russian keyboard follows the easy-to-learn AATSEEL “phonetic” keyboard layout, which tries to match Russian letters to QWERTY keys based on sound. The phonetic layout is widely used in the United States by Russian translators, teachers, and learners of Russian.
