## What it is
NohBoard is a free, customizable on-screen keyboard visualizer for Windows, built in C# with GDI+. It captures keystrokes and renders them in a window that can be easily captured in OBS, optionally with chroma key.

## Use cases
- show keyboard presses on stream
- display on-screen keyboard for OBS
- visualize keystrokes while gaming
- custom keyboard layout overlay
- capture keyboard input with chroma key

## When to choose
- you stream on Windows and want a free, easy keyboard overlay
- you need customizable keyboard layouts and styles
- you want simple window capture instead of game capture

## When to avoid
- you need macOS or Linux support
- you need 3D or fancy graphics rendering
- you need non-Windows gaming setups
