Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for facilitating user input are provided. For example, a keyboard display trigger event for a computing device may be identified (e.g., a user interacting with a text input interface). Responsive to identifying the keyboard display trigger event, a virtual keyboard may be displayed through the computing device. The virtual keyboard may comprise virtual keys that are displayed along a periphery/edge of a screen of the computing device, such as side-by-side forming a parallelogram shape. Swipe gestures across the virtual keyboard may be used to transition to other virtual keyboards, such as a letter virtual keyboard, a numeric virtual keyboard, a symbol virtual keyboard, an emoji virtual keyboard, a virtual keyboard in a different language, etc.
