However, we have different virtual options, if they are more to our liking or we must resort to them at specific times.

In this way, and given the convergence that those of Redmond are trying to achieve in all kinds of devices, we will be able to use virtual keyboards also in a PC or even launch a panel, with the layout and options similar to those of a physicist, in a tablets.
