ISO has shift slashes, but no in all variants. Here's the G915 in UK International layout:

And here it is in the US International layout:

As you can see, in the US variant, it does not have the shift slashes, so it's 104 keys instead of 105. They're not reversed, it's just that the left shift is full size and the slash is near the Enter. From what I've seen, though, it's not merely a US/UK difference, as some manufacturers will keep the left Shift slash button as a double, just to respect the 105-key standard. To me, and apparently @saiya-jin, this is very annoying.

Before I decided on this keyboard, I shopped around found WASD. They do customizable prebuilt mechanical keyboards. Pretty nice. They also have the ISO layout variant, as well as the ANSI variant. Even nicer. But check out these comparison shots I took from their configurator:

See how they just keep the left Shift slash as a double, despite it already being next to Enter on the US variant? That would have driven me crazy.
