How come my Omen 15 has a weird UK Keyboard layout?

[MelonHeadSeb]

I live in the UK and my HP Omen seems to have a keyboard with the same physical layout of buttons as a USA keyboard. For example the enter key is a wide one rather than a tall L shaped one. It also has the back slash where the Right Ctrl key would normally be, as well as the hash key being above the enter key rather than next to it for some reason.

It still has a £ sign above the 3 and I know it's different to the actual USA HP Omen keyboard since there are some slight differences between them (eg. the USA keyboard has a Right Ctrl)

This is quite annoying and I'm wondering if there is a version of this laptop that has a standard UK Keyboard layout? Looking online at UK keyboards there does seem to be a different version of the UK Keyboard with a difference to the enter key and the hash key that I mentioned, however it still has a right Ctrl as well as the backslash key being in the correct space, it just seems as though my Omen has a strange mix between the UK and US layouts.
