I use scim/skim and an ordinary keyboard. I just type phonetically and teh kana come up. When teh kana reachjes teh end of teh word, I am offered all possible kanji for the kana in question and can chose eitgher to stay with kana (for a child?) nor to sat which kanji I require. It isn't installed on this computer yet, so I can't demonstrate. But by phonetically I mean e.g. type chihiro which will come up in kana as i complete each syllable. scim will, of course, require configuring.
