Installing a custom keyboard has many advantages:
- Typing Japanese characters on a non-Japanese system
- Using the full-width font that's used on the Wii
- Using characters from the DS keyboard that were removed on the 3DS (e.g. the button icons and PictoChat faces)
- Using other normally-inaccessible characters in the 3DS system font
How to Install
- Download the latest version of cooolgamer's custom keyboard from this page (choose light mode or dark mode).
- Extract the archive and copy the
gm9folder to the root of your SD card.- Make sure you don't already have a custom keyboard installed.
- With the SD card in your 3DS, hold the START button while booting to open GodMode9.
- Press the HOME button, choose Scripts, and run the Custom Keyboard script.
- Wait for it to load, read the messages before accepting them, and press A to reboot your 3DS.
- Open FBI and install the CIA file at
sd:/gm9/customkyb/Keyboard_Custom.cia.

Uninstalling CFW with the custom keyboard installed will brick your system. Make sure you restore the original keyboard before you uninstall CFW! |
