Some things are more standardized than others. A piano keyboard is

Speaking of which, here's a trivia question. Without looking at your
keyboard, describe how the "F" and "J" keys (assuming a US-English key
layout) differ from, say, the "G" and "K" keys.
The F and J keys have "F" and "J" printed on them instead of "G" and "K".
They're also in slightly different positions, offset one position to the
left. Otherwise they are identical, to the limits of my vision and touch.
(I haven't tried measuring them with a micrometer, or doing chemical
analysis of the material they are made of.)
Maybe keyboards are different where you are! :-)
Mine have an little ridge on the keytop of those keys.
