New AZERTY "NG" French Standard Keymap NF Z71-300
Pleasantly surprised to see this addition in 24H2.
I'm just curious if anyone has seen any vendors selling keyboards with this layout?
( I checked all the mainstream laptop makers, including Microsoft surface. )
There is one seller on Amazon selling retrofit stickers; Bépo, conversely, seems to have traction. Until then, I guess one can practice typing in the blind.

As you've checked, major laptop makers like Microsoft Surface, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., haven't yet adopted or announced support for this specific keymap. This is common with specialized or regional layouts that are still gaining traction.
To my knowledge, there are no major brands offering ready-made keyboards with the NF Z71-300 "NG" layout directly. Most OEMs tend to stick with standard AZERTY, QWERTY, or Bépo layouts.
"C'est Dommage" as they say here. It is one of the only good things that has happened in France in the 6 years that I've been stuck here! Perhaps someone at Microsoft has a golf/tennis buddy down the street at Amazon who can encourage them to make an AmazonBasics "klaviar" in the new format.
