What layout is this?

Does anyone know what this is called? As far as I can tell it's a typical US 104-key layout, but the enter key is bigger and the |\ key is to its left instead of on top.

The layout in the photo is exactly what I want, in every detail. Can I get a WASD keyboard like this? I've been looking in the support page but all I can find is US 104 and ISO 105 as options. Sadly the ISO 105 has a tiny left shift key, which would annoy me as much as a skinny enter key. And the |\ and ~ keys are in the wrong place.

This page https://support.wasdkeyboards.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009701328 seems to suggest that it's possible to get the shape of enter key I want, but like most knowledge base articles it doesn't tell me how to actually do that.

  The pictured keyboard is a typical ANSISO hybrid ("ANSI" left Shift and "ISO" Enter). You'll find more information on this physical layout variation at http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/Just-how-Many-Things-Does-the-Term-Keyboard-Layout-Refer-to/#ANSIandISO .

  Cool, thanks!

  Does that mean there's a chance I can get one from WASD?

  We can do a custom keycap set like that, but our keyboards are standard ISO or standard ANSI only, sorry. We would not be able to design and manufacture a new physical keyboard layout.
