Question 1

Can this keyboard be used simultaneously with a laptop's built in American one to switch between languages, without changing system settings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 
Please note that the keyboard is just an inputting device. 
The languages are controlled and enabled by software Apps and/or Windows OS.

When you follow the prompts in enabling a foreign language in setting, select the 
toggle switch between language which Windows would appear near you laptop's clock, 
from which you may toggle between languages... just like that :-)

We were able to Google Enabling Foreign Language Input on Windows® 10:

You can edit documents in multiple languages by changing the language (the input language) in which you type. Input languages are included with Windows, but you need to add them to your list of languages before you can use them.

1.	Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button  , clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options. 
2.	Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change keyboards.
3.	Under Installed services, click Add.
4.	Double-click the language you want to add, double-click the text services you want to add, select the text services options you want to add, and then click OK.

Question 2

How do you make the q key make the at key?

Accepted Answer

That function is for the software, the keyboard is just an inputting device, whatever application software or language software you are using determines which key to print for what letter.

Try using the Shift and other key combinations, which you may find by Googling it.

Question 3

Does this keyboard work with Linux?

Accepted Answer

Not sure... this keyboard is intended and supports Windows.

We heard that it even work partially with Mac (no F Keys), while with Linux,
no one reported any troubles failure or successes, you might as well try it yourself.

Good Luck.
