DataCal Enterprises in Gilbert Arizona offers Arabic/English Keyboards for
$22.75 when purchased in bulk. Overlays are cheaper, but they're clumsy and
a distraction for users who don't need them. The stickers are ok, the
plastic covers are terrible. I am inclined to use multiple keyboards and
switch them out as needed.

We just bought 2 usb English/Arabic keyboards off of ebay. I believe they
were about $20 each.
If it's easy to switch keyboards in your lab, that might be an option.

Dear Colleagues,
I'm writing to see if anyone can recommend a keyboard overlay for Arabic on
a standard PC QWERTY keyboard. I've had a look on the web and have only seen
keyboard stickers. Do full removable (plastic?) keyboard overlays exist?
What I had in mind was to purchase a couple that could be used by students
in the lab when required then removed and returned when they are through
with it. Presumably there are variant Arabic keyboard layouts (e.g.,
Algerian, AQWERTY, etc.). Is there one in particular that would be
recommended? Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give. Jack
