FAQ
QWERTY or AZERTY gaming keyboard?
In France, most players use AZERTY for compatibility with localized games and software. Some FPS players prefer QWERTY (WASD keys are better positioned). Always check the physical layout in the Amazon description — a 'QWERTY' keyboard with AZERTY keycaps can cause confusion.
Gaming keyboard with or without numpad?
Without numpad (TKL or 75%): more mouse space, better for games requiring wide mouse movement. With numpad (full-size): more convenient for MMOs with macros or mixed office use. TKL is the most versatile format for competitive gaming in 2026.
