AZERTY is the standard layout in France and Belgium. Compared with QWERTY, A and Q swap places, Z and W swap places, and M moves to the right of L where the semicolon normally sits. The number row is shifted: the unshifted keys type & é " ' ( - è _ ç à and you hold Shift to get digits. Accented letters é è ç à ù have their own keys, and the board is ISO, with a tall Enter and an extra < > key next to the left Shift.
Type every row, then repeat the number row with Shift held to check the digits. Watch the ù % key beside Enter and the * µ key above it — both are ISO-only switches that a US-shaped picture would not even show. AltGr combinations such as @, € and # use the right Alt key, so press that one too. Each keycap counts presses, so a switch that registers twice per tap is chattering.
Your computer is set to a QWERTY layout while your physical keyboard is AZERTY (or the reverse). The switch is fine — this tester will still light the key you pressed, because it reads the physical key rather than the character. Change the input language in Windows or macOS and the letters will match again.
