Unfortunately there is no way to detect the visual appearance of a keyboard. As 
you have no doubt seen from the IDRC's usability lab, there is an incredible 
diversity of potential alternative keyboards a user can employ, in addition to 
the myriad of keyboards available from different mainstream vendors. We should 
look to other design strategies rather than trying to depict the user's 
keyboard literally.
