**Jianlai (键来)** is a custom keyboard for iPhone and iPad. It brings theme colours, fonts, backgrounds and key appearance into everyday typing, including separate space-bar styling to suit your reading and typing preferences.

Establish comfortable basic input before changing themes and layouts so that you can identify what affects the experience. The app’s interface language, keyboard input language and visual appearance are separate settings worth arranging individually.

## Four everyday uses

- **Match your preferred colours:** begin with a built-in theme, then compare backgrounds, fonts and key styles, including a separately designed space bar. In a normal text field, check that letters, candidates and key boundaries remain readable.
- **Choose a familiar layout:** official store screenshots show Chinese 26-key and nine-key layouts among the options. Compare typing and candidate selection with the same short passage rather than choosing from the preview alone.
- **Switch input languages:** public screenshots show Chinese, English and Japanese input, with a separate app-interface language choice. Changing interface wording does not itself change the input language; check the selected options before typing.
- **Arrange sound and touch feedback:** official screenshots introduce piano sounds and haptic feedback. Try a short passage before arranging feedback for your surroundings and preferences, checking sound settings separately from visual themes.

## Establish input before adjusting appearance

1. Install and open Jianlai, choosing a built-in theme with clearly readable keys and text while you explore the settings offered by the installed version.
2. In the device’s Settings, open General → Keyboard → Keyboards and select Jianlai through Add New Keyboard. Exact system wording depends on the installed version.
3. In a normal text field such as Notes, use the keyboard-switch control to select Jianlai. Type a short passage and check candidate selection, spaces, punctuation, deletion and line breaks separately.
4. Once basic input works, change one appearance or layout setting at a time and return to the same field. This helps distinguish font readability, key arrangement and input-language adjustments.

For system keyboard setup and switching, see Apple’s [iPhone keyboard instructions](<https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/add-or-change-keyboards-iph73b71eb/ios>) and [iPad keyboard instructions](<https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/add-or-change-keyboards-ipad1aa5a19a/ipados>). System setup enables the keyboard; confirm themes and languages separately inside the app.

## Check themes and languages separately

After changing a background or font, type the same passage again and check candidates, numbers and common punctuation for readability. A distinctive space bar should retain a clear label and boundary. Follow an attractive preview with a check in an actual text field.

Choosing an English app interface does not mean keyboard input has switched to English; Japanese input likewise does not require a Japanese app interface. Confirm interface language and enabled input languages separately, then check the current keyboard state. Public screenshots show the languages and layouts of that version; check the choices offered by your installed version.

## System boundaries and useful comparisons

Jianlai is a third-party keyboard. iOS uses the system keyboard in secure fields such as password inputs, and individual apps can decline third-party keyboards. Compare a normal text field before treating a return to the system keyboard as evidence that Jianlai was not installed. Apple’s [custom-keyboard documentation](<https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/CustomKeyboard.html>) describes these system boundaries.

Interface languages, input languages and the number of themes are separate attributes; one does not establish the others. This introduction uses public descriptions and official screenshots, without claiming testing in every app, device or input environment.

## Version and sources

Checked on 14 November 2026: Apple’s public lookups for Finland and China both listed Jianlai **1.0.5**, requiring **iOS or iPadOS 16.0 or later**. The public release notes describe known-issue fixes and additional skins, including original keycap designs.
