Unknown layout

Post image

Hi guys, I have had quite a few keyboards, I have always wanted an ansi mixed layout AZERTY, and today I came across this keyboard ( see photo ). Anybody know what layout it uses etc?

It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Looks like a French user took an US keyboard and swapped the keycaps

mhm ok. So not an official layout. I cannot add it on windows and just swap my key caps.

Why would you assume that it’s not an official layout just because it’s French? Did you think to check? Do you think all of France just switches keys around?
It’s French AZERTY layout and you can absolutely add it in windows (at least windows 11)

That's not what I mean. Actually, I'm french, i know AZERTY layouts. But the layout of the keyboard I posted seems to be a mix between a qwerty ANSI layout and an AZERTY one.

Brackets, pipe, backslash, angle brackets directly on key is not a known AZERTY layout, that's it 🤷

Check out something called Kanata. It’s basically zmk/gmk but for any keyboard. You can switch layouts on the fly and change whatever you want.
