    Hi all, My keyboard on my laptop {windows 10) is broke because I spilt drink on it and I was wondering is it possible to get a onscreen keyboard with trace typing similar to what you might get on Phone ?
    Thanks

    I feel silly having to ask... but do you have a touch screen laptop?

    The standard windows on screen keyboard does not support swipe like on a phone. But there might be third party apps that allow this. If you don't have a touch screen laptop, I really just wouldn't bother going this route. The best option is to replace the keyboard, or buy a USB keyboard and use your laptop more like a desktop.

    Laptop keyboards are generally easily replaced. You can buy replacements cheaply on Ebay and they only are connected by a simple ribbon connector.
