+# Keyboard
+
+This custom PowerApps component provides a fully functional virtual keyboard supporting letters, numbers, and special characters. It offers seamless language switching between French and English, making it ideal for multilingual applications and touch-based interfaces. Designed for flexibility and ease of integration, it enhances user input across a wide range of scenarios.
+
+This component is designed to complement the default keyboard, especially on large tablets or touchscreen kiosks 🖥️. It lets you position the keyboard wherever you want 📍, adjust its size 📐, and even customize the keys and colors 🎨 to fit your needs. 
+Flexibility and user experience first! 🚀
