A Warning
With the amount of effort put into making a keyboard with as many neat tricks and features as this, I can say that I appreciate the work involved. Now, I can't say I'm an expert at writing in Japanese, I'm not. I haven't really had much time to do so. I mainly bought this keyboard a couple of weeks ago just as an effort to remind myself it's something I need to start doing.
As you can see from the image, the space bar is puny, which is okay, but I feel like I can only use my left thumb to tap it, because my right hand is so far removed from its center. Any closer and it just feels crowded. Still, this isn't really a big problem.
The actual problem is that all the symbols used when holding Shift and tapping the number or alternative symbol keys are messed up. Why is 2 labeled with " instead of @ like it prints? Why does * = (, ( = )? It is all screwed up. If you're using this on a daily basis, especially after using a standard English keyboard for years, you're gonna' get confused often. And it's neither of the languages' fault, the symbols are misplaced. And they're not just rearranged, they're misprinted, too.
Overall, I recommend you try giving Dell's version a test run instead.
