For French Geekhackers - Model M french AZERTY ebay.fr 60€ no bid yet 20h to go

[Kliee]

Pretty much everything is in the title. I know some French using AZERTY that are desperate to find a good Model M, so here it is !

Round white label with 2 coiled and detachable cables.

60€ might seem a little bit expensive for a great find, but good AZERTY Model M's are pretty hard to find...

wow, I REALLY dig that tenkey

here's another one of them foreign language ones. Is there a good way to distinguish based on the layout?

For this keyboard, they say it's a canadian english one. Never saw one before so I don't know...

Hmmm, I don't think there's an absolute trick to automaticaly differenciate language and country. The layouts I can recognize are the ones I came across at least once.

I would say a good way to differenciate 2 really close layout is remembering the symbols on the key right under esc (they seem to always change) and the 2 or 3 keys just next to the right shift for complete accuracy.
That's how I do but I don't know if it's 100% accurate.

What would be interesting would be to find (or do) an international layout chart for Geekhackers usage. A big memo of sort, to help us dig ebay

Do you mean a table matching part number to language variations,  or a document showing the layout/legends for each language variation?

Well, both would be really cool, but I meant the second one.
