This is obviously not a French, but a Belgian AZERTY keyboard.
Even with the funny way you assembled the keycaps, one can tell so by a few of them:

You’re just a bit late to the party:

Call me old fashioned, but what about a good old certificate with embossed foil seal. A unique prize for the winner, with little to no resale value as it clearly states the name of the winner. Plus it looks good in a frame

I fully concur.

Just saying…

I have the same (with its legend paper strip over the F keys and a slightly damaged F7 keycap): Do you know what equipment it went with? The F key action descriptions are still pretty general. Are all the LEDs there red? That might suggest a slightly older model than amber. As far as I know, it wen...

Damn, I've just recently come across the G80-2100 HAO caps, and being nordic, those are delicious. Were the caps / board ever sold? I hope you’re not dreaming of stripping this absolutely unique vintage keyboard of its keycaps. Apparently there’s a lot of stuff which will not survive the actual gen...

Thank you for documenting this board, I have the same (with its legend paper strip over the F keys and a slightly damaged F7 keycap):

This is my […] That layout is bad enough to make Sweet Zombie Jesus roll over in his grave. And then get out of the grave and kick the ass of whoever built it.

I'm generally a fan of beige kbs over black, but I do have to admit this looks very cool. Same here. Although well, it does look cool, but to me it would be a work hindrance since my screen displays black on light grey and all the paper documents I constantly need for reference are printed black on...

Given the title of this thread I should also show this from my collection:

Spoiler:

Anything with a biscuit button is a surely a keeper.

The brand may be DigiPos, but in fact it is a… Tipro keyboard

I always wonder how neat the desks posted on DT are compared to mine.

I always assume: neater.

I love it when people post photos with papers I can read

Blatant advertising here...for those that want to build their own battleship tipro, i have the boards for sale right now :P […] It doesn’t count at advertising as long as you don’t provide a link to your sales thread Did I say " link to your sales thread "? Here: https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.p...

No way.
At my age you don’t simply I see no reason to switch from cylindric to spheric keycap profile.

Another beauty.

Yes, another Tipro beauty.
The newer range (with non-standard staggering, though).
Even I have to admit it looks terrific.

Happy to show off damn, that's awesome! I'd love to see that behind a cash register some day. I can only imagine the size of the terminal/computer/etc. I wonder if you could make the outer key grids a split keyboard and how comfortable it would be. My keyboard consists of 3 independant modules whic...

Folks, stop whining about keys being too small and simply learn typing correctly :mrgreen: For your information, on old typewriters all keys were 1u and pressing them down required a lot of force. But well, as by that time practically all typists were women, one has to assume… oh, that would go to f...

[…] Yet keyboards alone are still in spite it all: worse.

Worse? What can be worse than a keyboard deliberately made to reproduce the noise of a typewriter and so badly designed that it internally breaks even if not in use?

[…] It's just a shame keyboards in particular are so subjective, because that makes them prime for cost cutting; that most objective thing of all! Everyone can tell that screens have gotten consistently better through the years and storage and processors too. (Well, those not made by Intel more so!...

Celebrating ignorance? You're entirely right that by far most people care nothing for their typing and how their keyboards feel. That's how we wound up here: in the world where the thinnest, lousiest, cheapest, downright cynical keyboards won to be ubiquitous. You've got to go out of your way to ty...

[…]The switches […] are this abomination . More or less Cherry telling you they're a caps display case, not to be pressed! Even if I do agree with you, be aware that this is a terribly elitist point of view. Most professional typists have no problem typing on MY switches. Which reminds me of this o...

Folks, you all talk as if it were a matter of the keycaps. The keyboard as such is a rare item, the more so as it seems to have had very little use (" 'new unused' condition "), shows no yellowing, and has its box and even its manual. But well, nowadays people butcher unique vintage keyboards for th...

The associated computers were massively successful, the XT protocol had a short life many F XTs saw light use. Were you using computers in the early-mid-1980s?
