If your pics are accurate, they still have the large 'Shift' key, they've just moved the backslash from the left end of the row to the right end and shifted all the other keys one to the left.
One wonders what other items are no longer being done after all the reduncancies at Dell, which is why I avoid buying from companies for a while after the ditch people. All those people were doing something (and if they weren't then the managers should have been laid off for incompetence), and after the layoffs, whatever those people were doing isn't getting done. Apparently quality control was deleted as a work item....
Sorry, I am just being a smart arse. Nothing to see here.

"All those people were doing something (and if they weren't then the managers should have been laid off for incompetence)"
There is a small problem with your theory...
If the managers are laid off, people will realise that they weren't doing anything, then their managers will be laid off, etc, etc all the way up the chain.
All that'll be left are the monkeys on the floor, who will realise that they have no boss and start doing nothing.
Come to think of it, being Dell, this would be a good outcome!

Dell are a lot like Microsoft. When they started out, you were rooting for them and (usually) enjoyed dealing with them... but now...
Show me a company in any other industry that could repeatedly, knowingly ship defective product and still be near the top in their industry. Only in PCs do we routinely accept such mind-blowingly negligent garbage.

The users that is before Dell pointed out the obvious.
Well, if they buy a Dell what can they expect.

Must have been in the quality control department.

Dell's quality control process #

Apparently Dell's "own quality control process" works like this:
QA #1: "Hey has that shipment arrived yet?"
QA #2: "Yeah."

OMG Dell get something wrong. #

Stop the press! Dell make a mistake!
If this is the worst piece of news to come from Dell as they slash their Irish workforce, they'll be doing well.
