Comfort On-Screen Keyboard Pro is the type of programs that comes in handy if you're dealing with a hardware keyboard problem and you want to immediately write something on your PC. The program is packed with various keyboard styles and themes, provides you with a comprehensive help guide and uses minimum CPU resources while running in the background.
This tool lives on your system tray from where you can show or hide the keyboard window, access and configure the program's settings according to your needs, check the built-in help manual, etc. After you choose a keyboard style, you can select the preferred appearance options. For example, the tool enables you to adjust the opacity level of the interface, select the proper font style, etc. You can also enable sound effects for your virtual keyboard.
Another great thing is that you can configure the utility to sit on top of any window from your desktop and you can change its position and size however you like.
All in all, Comfort On-Screen Keyboard Pro works flawlessly and is very simple to handle. The only thing you need to consider before purchasing the tool is that the Lite edition of the product is cheaper and but offers you less features. Check the differences between these 2 editions and choose the proper solution. Either way, they both work well.
