Reddit mentions of Russian Cyrillic Keyboard Stickers with Yellow Lettering ON Transparent Background for Desktop, Laptop and Notebook

One thing that I did when I first started learning Russian was typing on the keyboard, which helped me learn the words faster as I'm always on the keyboard. If you're like me and not fast with a Russian keyboard, I suggest you use Google Input Transliteration Tools. What this does is allows you to spell Russian words with an English keyboard by transliterating the English characters into Cyrillic characters.

For example: If I were to type "ya ot tebya bez uma."(I'm crazy about you.) then the computer would automatically change it into "Я от тебя без ума." You can try this out by going to Google Translate and typing in English characters. All you have to do is install that program, it will download the dictionaries from Google, and after that it is a keyboard that you switch to just like the Russian keyboard in Windows. This made it very easy for me to type Russian, and even though I like typing with an actual Russian layout, I will admit that this way is faster especially if you're already fast on an English keyboard. There is also a way to do this as an add-on for Chrome by pressing Ctrl + G, but I don't think using it is as easy and I think it only works in Chrome.
If you have any more questions, I can try to answer them.

And yes, I agree with Fuloran 100% that the hardest thing by far, especially as an English speaker where it's not a big thing, is verb conjugation.

Also, if you want good Russian stickers, I can recommend these and these. The first set of stickers have a transparent background so that the original letters from the keyboard show through. I use the transparent stickers on my mechanical gaming keyboard so that the backlighting can show through, and they don't slow me down at all. I use the second set of stickers, which have a black background, on my laptops/Chromebooks.

Think about how long it took you to be proficient in English and how you had to go to school to learn some of the grammer. One of the best things about Russian is there is quite a few English cognates and this makes it really easy to pick up some words.
One of the hardest things for me when I was first learning the alphabet was distinguishing a Cyrillic R from an English P because they look the same. Another one was a Cyrillic N from an English H. If you can get past these, the alphabet is easy. I would say that the unique letters(Д, Л, Ж ,Э, Ц, Ю, Ч, Ф) are definitely the easiest because you are learning them, not relearning or reassigning a sound. Some good ways that I learned was talking with other Russian speakers through a messaging client. If you play games with Russian communities(maybe join a Russian TF2 server) maybe try and add/talk to some people on there. I don't know if you play it, but there is a Russian League of Legends server, I play there and talk to people sometimes. You just have to use your resources. I think the best resource is a native Russian speaker because they can give you good, common pronunciation that will help you the most.

Удачи, приятель! :)

Here, try these.. Only $3 and simple to install. I have them on my office home and laptop keyboards.
