Dell Vostro 1310 Screw-up
Looks normal, right? Look at your own keyboard... notice anything different? Okay, maybe you don't. But try actually typing on this and it all becomes far too apparent. The whole of the bottom row of letters (Z, X, C...) is one too far to the right. The Z should be below and between A and S, not S and D. You're looking at a brand new Dell Vostro 1310, ordered the day after its released, and delivered on 30th April 2008 in the UK. They keys are all there. Shift, \|, Z, X... its just that the left shift is too big, forcing everything over too far. The Z has to be between the A and S... look on ANY other keyboard and that's where it sits. This is not a US/UK layout issue, just a general monumental flaw. [read more]Recommended Books on Usability

I don't know what you mean, i have a Dell Inspiron 5150 (I think its around 5 years old) and the keyboard looks just the same as on your image.
Probably, your keyboard design too is not standard?
It's not that the shift key is too big, it's that the backslash key is in the wrong place. It should be above the enter key. That would definitely mess me up when typing, and I'm sure many others.
Backslash is below the Enter key.
@suman, No, the forward slash key is below the enter. Backslash is \ and forward slash is /
