Hi, I have a quick question about French Keyboards

So I'm planning to buy the Sidewinder X4 keyboard but it's a French keyboard, and I was wondering if any of the characters on the keyboard will actually be changed or will only the software on the keyboard be changed to the French language? for example, "?" will be changed on the keyboard to an "ç" or something like that

French-Canada keyboards are QWERTY not AZERTY. You can delete Canada multilingual from Windows options so you don't get the french characters.

I don't see why you're bothering with a French keyboard as the left shift key is half the size and they put a \ where it should be. It's a horrid layout.
