Here is the Somali keyboard layout for Windows

Far Soomaali's placement of consonants and vowels on the Keyboard corresponds with the
English Keyboard layout (QWERTY) that we are used to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY


...with the following exceptions.

Shiin (sh) = Shift + S
Kha (kh) = Shift + K
Dha (dh) = Shift + D

Long Vowels =
aa = Shift + A
ee = Shift + E
oo = Shift + O

Note: There are no letters ascribed to "V" and "P"

Also here's a PDF file of a Book Called "Afkeenna iyo Fartiisa" made in Xamar, 1971
which helps you in familiarizing yourself with the Far Soomaali Script.
