How do I say 'I'm sorry I can only type using Romaji'? I find using Romaji is much easier for me to learn the Japanese language, however it's hard for others not using Romaji and I'd like to express that I'm sorry about that.

I would say: Sumimasen. Watashi wa mada roma-ji shika kakemasen. (I'm sorry, I can write only roma-ji yet.) (--> It's possible that you can already READ hiragana and katakana, and you can't write them because of your computer/keyboard.) Sumimasen. Watashi wa mada roma-ji shika wakarimasen. (I'm sorry, I only know roma-ji yet.) I hope my English isn't bad and this helps you.

Hmm.. If I'm not wrong: Sumimasen kedo, watashi wa romaji dake de kakemasu. -Sumimasen kedo > Sorry, but... -watashi wa > I'm -dake de kakemasu > Only able to write in... [romaji] *Sorry but I'm was not sure how to say "type" in japanese, so I chose "to write". x)
