New Touch Keyboard for Windows 10

The touch keyboard for Windows 10 is a great way for users to type on their computers with no need of a physical keyboard. It eases accessibility, and it acts as a great alternative just in case your real keyboard stops working.

Microsoft is bringing in a few changes to the current keyboard version. If you hated every bit of the old keyboard, which had nothing interesting going on, then you are about to change your thoughts. The new touch keyboard for Windows 10 was introduced this year, and it comes with new animations, GIFS, supports emojis, sounds, and so much more. So, you will have one big keyboard with the alphanumerical at the bottom and the emoji and GIF panel at the top. You can also navigate your way through the device by swiping in different directions. This will come in handy when gaming on a site like Vulkan Vegas.

The new touch keyboard uses the newer Fluent Design and brings new features, some of which were seen on Windows 10 first. It was actually named the “Wonderbar”. However, it will include better improvements to make your typing flawless and fun too. So if you are wondering how you can get the latest version of this keyboard, then read on. 

How to View Your Current Keyboard

First things first, it is vital to your keyboard settings before you proceed to update it. 

1. First, click on the Start option.
2. Then head to the Settings menu.
3. Click on Devices and then tap on Typing.
4. Find the option ‘Show the Touch keyboard when no keyboard is attached’ and turn it on.
5. A shorter way you can do so is to just type on the touch keyboard on the SEARCH button and you are good to go. 

How to Unlock the New Touch Keyboard for Windows 10

To get the latest version of this keyboard, your device should be using Windows 10. Note that there are different versions of keyboards. This includes a standard keyboard, which is shown as default, and the upcoming keyboard from Fall Creators Update, which is a swipe keyboard. To change your current keyboard or unlock the new one, follow the steps below:

• Tap on the keyboard settings.

• Once you have chosen the new touch keyboard, you can change from floating to fixed or vice versa.
• Just select the float or fixed button, which is located next to each other at the bottom of the screen. 

Summary

The new touch keyboard for Windows 10 is certain to improve your typing experience. Users can spice up their content by using new GIFs and emojis, rather than the older version, which didn’t have any. Besides, this is a big stepping-stone for Microsoft considering that they have been having critics on their dull-looking keyboards. And perhaps this is the first to many new upgrades in the future. We will just have to wait and see.
