Mavericks on Macbook Pro Retina A1398 (US keyboard with horizontal Enter) shows Japanese keyboard (JIS, with vertical Enter) on enabled keyboard viewer. How do I make Mavericks to recognize and to show its native US Keyboard layout?
I have tried to reset SMC and PRAM with no success.
p.s. I have tried changing input sources to U.S. as well – does not change the orientation of return on bluish keyboard on the right – mac OS still thinks I have JIS…
MacOS – Macbook sees Japanese keyboard instead of native US English

It sounds like your machine is not recognizing the "keyboard type" correctly, thinking you have a JIS (or ISO) type instead of ANSI. See this article for some suggestions on fixing it:
