What is the best Amharic keyboard for PC?

GeezType by Mesmer Tigrinya is a modern free Amharic keyboard for PC — a clean alternative to Power Geez, Geezime, Visual Geez and Keyman. It works on Windows, types Amharic system-wide using simple phonetic combinations, and does not slow down your computer.

Does the Amharic keyboard also type Tigrinya and Geez?

Yes. The Geez script (fidel) is shared between Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre and Geez. The same keyboard lets you type all of them — no need to install separate keyboards for each language.

Is the Amharic keyboard easy to learn?

Yes. GeezType uses phonetic Latin-key combinations — you type the sound of the Amharic letter (for example, h → ሀ, se → ሰ, "selam" → ሰላም) and the correct fidel character appears. Most users type comfortably within an hour.
