Looking for new keyboard.

Maybe "non-standard layout" was too strong of a term, but from looking at the pic of it here:

I can see that the enter key is shaped weird, the left shift is half-sized, and the backslash key is not in its usual position. There may be other differences, but I can't tell because that picture isn't particularly high quality.

That layout has been around for awhile. Its actually my prefered layout. I can't stand the smaller backspace key and the huge enter key.

That picture is of the UK (EU?) version layout. The G80-3000LSCRC-2 can be seen here http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=5554

Ah, OK. That makes sense. I guess the only differences are the Chinese characters on the board, which obviously don't impact the feel of the keys, and the fact that the F & J keys are distinguished by being more concave, as opposed to having a "bump" on them.
