[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1263574, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. The keyboard input method only works properly with the standard Apple keyboard. We use our machine the same way but in Korean not Chinese. It should by all calculation work OK with any keyboard but it doesn't. As far as waiting until the entire word is completed, ours does not work that way. It displays the characters as they are typed. Sometimes the base character will change because the combination of several characters changes its meaning. I'm thinking that it is the same in Chinese. You can tell easy enough by displaying the on screen keyboard while you have the input method set to whichever version of Chinese you selected. As you press the various keys you should also see a corresponding shading or simulated pressing of the keys on the screen. Look for any errors that way. We occasionally have to do a backspace and then use a combo of keys to get the correct Korean character. It's not perfect but it works. The only other way to get it down perfectly is to change the language of the machine and then you would also need a Chinese keyboard. (Which Apples sells.) [/QUOTE]
