So instead of pressing the keys that have あ and か (3 and t) on them, you type aka and then select from a popup list to type 赤.

This is the method I use, through my OS. Its the only method I have seen being used since my Japanese friends use the Romaji method also (I just didn't know there was a name for it, thought it was the norm). Only place I've seen Japanese style keyboards is when playing Japanese video games and I've had to write my name in. Its nice to see the kana all in sound order - When you've been using it a while you never have to look at your chart anymore, as you'll know, Nyororin.
Reminds me of my noobish early days hehe
