Does anyone have a keyboard with Devanagari support that they would be willing to sell to me?
Suggestions for buying one elsewhere also welcome.
I live in the USA.

Do you mean one with labelled keys?

Hopefully. I just want something to be able to type without special software :-)

It is my understanding that any keyboard is just a keyboard. The keys do not communicate a specific character to the computer: the computer only knows which key is pressed. The OS has a keyboard layout (keymap) chosen, and looks up each key in the map to return a specific character. You do not need special software: you only need to change your keyboard layout (and perhaps label your keys so you know what you are pressing).

I found a solution. I also found that Indians use stickers for it (at least, the ones I talked to).
I found a way to use my keyboard. Thanks anyway :-)
