Traditional Mongolian Keyboard
You have to be a little familiar with Unicode to use this keyboard, but here is the basic layout:
The red key (which is V on your keyboard) is so that you can enter the variation selector keys. For example, V+1 is FVS1, which is useful if you want to write ᠳ᠋ᠧᠩ instead of ᠳᠧᠩ. Similarly, V+2 is FVS2 and V+3 is FVS3. Also the accent key is MVS, which is useful if you want to write ᠰᠠᠷᠠ instead of ᠰᠠᠷᠠ.
Pressing shift gives you a few other letters that didn’t fit on the main keyboard:
Pressing Shift+Space gives you the narrow non-breaking space (NNBSP) character, which is useful for writing suffix particles like ᠰᠠᠢᠢᠨ ᠤᠤ instead of ᠰᠠᠢᠢᠨ ᠤᠤ. (The first one should be a correctly formatted uu of sainuu but depending on your computer’s Unicode support, they both might look the same.)
Pressing o without shift gives you the fifth vowel (masculine у) and O with shift gives you the fourth vowel (masculine о). Pressing u without shift gives you the seventh vowel (feminine ү) and U with shift gives you the sixth vowel (feminine ө). There really isn’t a need to use the shift forms since there is never a visual difference, but the option is there for those who care.
Finally, if you want to write the traditional numbers, you can use the Option key:
That’s pretty much it. Option+ is the ZWJ character, but most people probably don’t need that.
Sorry for all the Unicode details. A friend of mine is making a Mongolian Input Editor where you will be able to select words from a list as you type. That won’t need any knowledge of Unicode. I’ll add a link when he finishes it.
If you don’t have a Mongolian font, this one from Menksoft is good.
If there are any words that you can’t write, you can leave a comment and ask.

Here is the QWERTY Mongolian keyboard layout for Cyrillic:

As much as possible I tried to make the Cyrillic correspond to the Latin letters on a keyboard. The red key (Y), is for choosing a few more special characters. So y+a gives я, y+e gives е, y+u gives ю, y+o gives ё and y+y gives й.
There are a few letters that didn’t fit nicely, most notably ө and ү. You have to press Option to get them:
Pressing Shift gives capital letters:
And pressing Shift+Option gives capitals for the Option letters:
