Product: HP Pavilion - 15-cs0004nj
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hi,
I recently bought this model:
HP Pavilion - 15-cs0004nj 4CA38EA
and the right Ctrl key is missing from the keyboard, instead there's a "\|" button.
Is this on purpose of a defect? I saw in the manual and online that it must have a right Ctrl key.
Thank you.

It would be an odd defect to build one keyboard with a different layout. Can we have a picture? You might have gotten a laptop with a UK or EU or other layout and not the US version? Hard to say without seeing it.
This is an eBay auction for a US layout and it does have 2 ctrl keys:
