Aramedia French European USB AZERTY Keyboard - Premium Quality Keyboard with French Language Layout - Ideal for French Language Typing and Communication

Comfort: Tactilely, it's a pleasant enough unit. It's a hefty build with rubber feet with a rough plastic surface and the keystrokes have a nice, muffled rebound. After using a flat-top Kensington for years, it takes awhile to get used to the concave layout from spacebar to function keys again, but isn't an issue. It doesn't slide around and my fingers won't slip. It feels satisfying both on the desk and my lap. Adaptation: I've almost exclusively used QWERTY ever since I learned to type in the 80's, and can cruise around at 80 WPM or in bursts of 120 WPM, give or take a few for ergonomics or tall enter buttons. Learning to AZERTY is just bizarre. Most of the keys are in the same place, but a few are reversed. W and Z, and Q and A have swapped positions. M is moved to the right of L. Punctuation is completely different (you have to hold shift for a full stop). The accented letters are scattered on the number bar, where keys also have three functions. Needless to say, it takes some getting used to. Compatibility: Works with Windows easily enough. I toggle between English and French with LAlt+LShift. Both keyboards are simultaneously plugged in and will work in whatever language setting is activated. Whether or not it will work in a game is dependent on localization files, I'm guessing. I can switch modes in Minecraft easily enough (regardless of display language), but not Space Marine. Keep that in mind if you're wanting to chat with buddies in French, but are like me and can't actually vocalize it without embarrassing yourself. First shipment (old): Tested with three PC's. The lights briefly flash when it's plugged in, then go out. Keystrokes are not processed. The keyboard is not even recognized when the system starts. This is my first non-English keyboard, so I followed the provided configuration steps, but this doesn't address whatever underlying hardware issue there is. Slight scuffs on the spacebar indicate that this was possibly a former return, something I did not agree to purchasing, or simply mishandled in assembly or QA.

I have a new employee who was hired to assist French-speaking customers via phone and email. She was not able to email with the QWERTY keyboard we provided, and told me she needed an AZERTY keyboard. This one works perfectly and has everything she needs.

I bought this French keyboard for my work, as we need to test our localized software on various international keyboards, and our French translators also need it to type their French accents and other diacriticals in a more natural way than using ALT codes or an international Dvorák layout. So, overall it does the job. It's a no-frill keyboard and the feel of the keys is ok, but not great. It was detected without issue by Windows and was easy to setup. I event got an email after purchase telling me how to switch input locales on various versions of Windows, which could be very useful for a non-expert.

I just received my keyboard today and there area no instructions and no clear way to make the French letters with accents work. I've looked on the internet, checked the company website, no information of any help. I suppose I'll just ship it back if I can't figure it out. Company: Please reach out to me if you have a solution to this problem.

Using this to better my waffle language however I do have to note when using this for a console even though you have it setup apps will still be in qwerty and not azerty like I need it to be

Fue una muy buena opción, ha ido mucho durante el tiempo que se utilizó. La calidad era buena y cumplió con el objetivo.

Awesome and well built keyboard. Its feel is similar to keyboards from ten years ago when they felt thick unlike today`s more slim keyboards. Its very strange using one of these keyboards if you`ve only ever used a QWERTY keyboard as a lot of things are in different places. Im using the keyboard now to type this review and have no complaints except for me not knowing the layout.

I purchased this keyboard for my daughter, who is taking French and was finding it cumbersome to copy and paste all the French accent marks and special characters for homework assignments and while IMing with her French-speaking online friends. She loves it!! AramediA sent a link with setup/user instructions, but this was entirely unnecessary since the keyboard is plugNplay, and the keyboard function keys are self-explanatory. She could set her computer up to toggle between the US qwerty and the French azerty keyboards, but she is using the azerty keyboard exclusively now. Only a couple of the letter keys are not where you'd find them on a qwerty keyboard, so relearning the keyboard layout was no problem.

D'origine belge, je vis au Québec depuis 18 ans, et pour mon travail, j'avais vraiment besoin d'un clavier Azerty, afin de garder mon efficacité et ma rapidité de frappe. Bizarrement, toutes les lettres/signes ne correspondent pas à ce qui est indiqué sur les touches, mais perso, ça m'arrange; ce clavier correspond du coup à 100% à mon autre clavier Azerty belge, acheté il y a plusieurs années en Belgique. Comme je tape à l'aveugle, ça ne me gêne pas du tout! (Ex: le ! n'est pas là où il est "indiqué" près des autres signes de ponctuation, mais bien sur le chiffre 8). Donc pour moi, rien ne change; j'y suis déjà habituée! Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat! La frappe est souple et agréable. Parfait!

Le clavier est très cher uniquement pour des raisons d'importation. Le produit en lui même est médiocre, après quelques semaines d'utilisation pour le travail, les touches sont rendus très difficiles à appuyer, ce qui engendre des douleurs dans les nerfs si vous utilisez intensivement le clavier (développeurs attention !). J'ai du mettre de l'huile sous les touches pour faciliter leur enfoncement. Après quelques mois d'utilisation, les touches sont redevenues difficiles à enfoncer. De plus, certaines lettres de touches ont disparues avec l'usure ! Pire encore, certaines touches se sont littéralement creusées (?!), le plastique ne supportant visiblement pas le PH de la peau humaine à répétition. Prenez un QWERTY, mettez le en français avec ALT + MAJ, et prenez des stickers pour mettre les touches françaises sur votre qwerty. Faites le deuil de la touche "<>" pour les développeurs, utilisez le code ALT + 60 et ALT + 62.

Oui enfin un clavier FRANÇAIS, enfin un clavier fidèle à l’image! Il m’aura fallu le commander trois fois pour avoir finalement le bon! On peut se demander pourquoi….?
