Depending on different regions of the world, there are several variants most commonly in AZERTY and QWERTY layouts.
The AZERTY Keyboard
The AZERTY keyboard is mainly used in France and Belgium. It is designed for the French language, but some versions do not allow easy input of certain special characters or accented uppercase letters.
📌 Note:
The name comes from the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard.

A new AZERTY standard was recently launched to simplify access to accented characters, useful for languages such as Corsican or Breton.
Example of an AZERTY keyboard:
The QWERTY Keyboard
The QWERTY layout is the most widespread in the world, mainly used in English-speaking countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, etc.).
📌 Note:
Created in 1868, QWERTY is the basis for many national variants.
It is particularly useful for those who write in English or use software with shortcuts designed for this layout.
