i use the hindi inscript keyboard, it is quite simple, even with the
host of characters in the devnagari script, of all the keyboards it is
the best designed. If a person is a regulatr hindi speaker / user it
makes sense to type in hindi rather than the english to hindi work
around.

Keyboard stickers are available and its easy to stick on (not so nice
on the smaller laptop keys).

In case any one needs i can send them a pdf of the inscript keyboard
which would aid in learning and is also useful to have in case one
forgets where some of the strange characters are
