Seems what you've seen before is something like this?

You can say that it's some kind of "Chinese" keyboard. However, in fact,
it's another IME besides Pinyin. In this method, Chinese characters are
decomposed into some basic parts, which are assigned to the 101 US
keyboard. Then by thinking how to write the characters to press the key
having the parts sequentially and you can get the final characters. It
was very popular during 1990s. But now few people are using that because
you need to memorize the assignment between the alphabetics and
character parts, which is painful for beginners.
