I did not realize this was a thing until I just switched to AZERTY which… despite being marketed as being “similar” to QWERTY, is still tripping me up

Edit: since this came up twice: I’m switching since I’m relocating to the French-speaking part of the world & I just happened to want to learn the language/culture, so yeah

    LDLC (online shop) has those new keyboards, but I don’t know if its worth it since the problem with all the standard layouts are the location of the letters in the first place.

      They used to but it’s not for sale anymore. It was a really cheap membrane keyboard anyway, so not something I would want to use. I’m actually fine with the location of the letters, it’s the illogical distribution of parentheses, slashes, quotation marks, square brackets etc. that I find irritating in AZERTY. I wouldn’t want to relearn it from scratch, I just wish I could get my hands on some quality new AZERTY keycaps.
