    o_O" If this will be true for any 1310 machine, 1310 would have *huge* return rate.

    Thanks for letting us know about this.

    It looks perfectly normal to me (as a UK user). What's the problem? The \| key?

    I would be more interested as to whether Fn or Ctrl occupies the bottom left corner.

    PS: Ah! I now see the issue after seen the other link. Shifting the wole bottom row isn't normal practice - the usual fix is a smaller left shift key.
