As far as I know, the only difference between UK, USA, MB and MBP keyboards
are some graphics and their .keylayout files.

The Return key on my UK keyboard uses up the far right space of two rows, it is sort of like an upsidedown L shape. That means that the | and \ keys are moved down one row lower than on the the USA keyboard to make room for the top half of the UK Return key.

The UK return key is also narrower on the bottom row it occupies than all other keys but on the top it is the same width as most other keys.

On my USA keyboard both Shift keys are the same size, unlike the UK which has a much smaller key on the left.

I place my 17" Mac up off my desk for better ergonomics (not beding my back over) and use a wireless keyboard when at home. When out with the Mac I go back to the USA built-in keys. I've adapted.

I rescued that UK keyboard from a cruel beating and excessive verbal abuse as my partner Cloe, a touch typist, could not adapt to what she considered 'wrong behavior' in a keyboard. ;-)
