Why is my macbook air keyboard different from all the ones i see online

It seems like no keyboard cover fits my keyboard, there are a few differences in the shapes and sizes of some buttons like the return button and the shift button. And all the keyboards I searched online have the same shape of the covers. So is it an issue with my macbook?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

There are three different keyboard shapes which MacBooks can have: ISO (European), ANSI (US) and JIS (Japanese). You need to look for a cover which matches your type, if anyone makes them. To see what different language keyboards look like, just go to
