Dec 15, 2015 12:21 AM in response to Tom Geweckeby TanMan,Wrong. There's no pure Chinese hardware keyboards. Not on a laptop--there's not enough space. Separate wireless keyboards, yes. But even those will also include the standard Qwerty characters on it aside from the Zhuyin Fuhao radicals.

All Apple keyboards that have non-Latin scripts on them (Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Greek) must have standard qwerty on them as well, otherwise you could not type any email or webpage addresses.
Size is irrelevant. There are various input methods for Chinese that use Chinese characters which fit on any keyboard.
I have never seen one myself, but Apple's page showing the keyboards it makes has a picture for the one supposedly used for notebook machines in Taiwan:
