Hello,
I installed a physical japanese keyboard (google x220 jp keyboard, I can't embed images yet) to my x220 thinkpad. I can't seem to find a way to get the japanese portion working. I've tried different combinations of models and key layouts in the keyboard settings section, but all to no avail. I know it works because I had it working on windows before installing Manjaro a few days ago. Please aid me!
Thank you

That google x220 jp keyboard works on Windows10 while not working on Manjaro? Is that right?
You need to install a japanese input method: Localization/Japanese - ArchWiki
(I use fcitx5-anthy, but other input methods should also work.)
If you do use fcitx5, you may need to run fcitx5-diagnose and follow the instructions for your system environments.
I have a Japanese laptop & run Manjaro Gnome & frequently use both langs. Fcitx5 Mozc is the best way to go.
In Settings set your KB input source to Japanese. This ensures the printed symbols such as @ will be on the correct keys when you are using English.
Open Add/Remove Software & search for ‘fcitx5’ & Install the following 6 items
In your Apps > System Tools open the Fcitx5 Configuration Tool.
& Set your Inputs to:
You can now use the Zenkaku key 半角/全角 (under esc) to change between hiragana & english.
Muhenkan 無変換 to change to Katakana. & in the settings you can set up the other kana keys as you require.
