Is 'intro' crp too tall or short?  It might be from another row if it looks/feels strange, doesn't look bad in the pic.

The only other wrong thing appears to be the two Ctrl keys but if that's what the customer wanted maybe that's what you got.

Looks nice and clean so hopefully you can fix it :)

it is a spanish board so maybe the intro key is normal? other than that model Ms are very well documented so any problem you have with it has probably already a solution somewhere here or on DT

IBM made custom keys and i think that if you are willing to put the price Unicomp still also make custom keys, it may come from an other special M where that made sense, custom made by ibm for a media company maybe.

if it is not a normal spanish key i would guess so, although custom is a big word, it would be custom at a company scale so a few 1000s minimum, like rebadged Ms
