| It actually says "French Bilingual" keyboard, which is likely the
| Canadian English/French bilingual layout. If it is, I consider this a

I think that that must be correct.
All the keys are where I expect them. I configure them as US layout when
installing Linux. (You can install more than one layout.)
The inscriptions on the key-caps are perhaps confusing since they cover
english- and french-Canadian layout, without a colour code to distinguish
the interpretations.
I mostly touch-type. This keyboard does not confuse my fingers.
| By simply pressing "Windows Key"+Space, it switches to French mode,
Neat. I've never bothered to figure this out but it could be a useful
feature. I'm embarrassed to say that I rarely type accented characters or
or anything else beyond ASCII.
