    It dictates the location and size of certain keys.

    For example the needlessly large enter key on ISO or the annoyingly small left shift key in ISO. You could very likely prefer ANSI as well.

        Keyboards have two layouts: a physical layout and a logical layout. The physical layout defines what the keyboard looks like, and the logical layout defines what signal each key sends to the computer. Qwerty is a logical layout, ISO and ANSI are physical layouts. Qwerty keyboards exist commonly in both ISO and ANSI layouts.
