I bought a card with high vis letter stickers to stick over the letters etc on my keyboard to make everything easier to see as my eyesight is not brilliant The original letters were all very faded. Think you may be right & they misspelt it, although why would one key be marked EBTER OR enter as well as RETURN.
Bad selling those like that with poor spelling.

I think the Enter key can also be known as the Return key.
Could you query it with whoever you purchased the stickers from?

The key has a dual function.
As a RETURN key to go to the next line if you are typing a message, as you have just done.
As an ENTER key, if you put a title in the search box here, for instance, you can press that key instead of clicking on "search" to get a result

RETURN is just a hangover from the days of typewriters,
remember (CARRIAGE) RETURN ?

Most modern keyboards simply have ENTER.

Mattrom is correct. Pressing that key when typing generates codes for
CR - Carriage Return and LF - Line Feed,
so you go to the beginning of the next line.
