There's absolutely no need for the left shift key to be so large.
Is that a US layout or something?
I believe the technical term is "bloody fucking stupid".
You just can't handle a real keyboard.
Samsung seem to do the silly left shift/return thing on their US layours, but UK layouts appear to be normal (from a quick google image search).
Lenovo US and UK are both wack.
Are all your keyboards like that?
Not all of them. My dell laptop has both shift keys full sized.
If that was a desktop keyboard, I'd say without doubt that it is a US layout with the slash above the Enter key and you'd get a UK layout, but as it's a laptop anything is possible :(
(Lots of websites reuse the stock photos from the manufacturer, so you tend to see this almost everywhere.)
I thought that too and searched and didn't find any photos that didn't show the odd layout.
