Both keyboards are the same size. But the tips of the black keys are a bit smaller, leaving more room for space between the keys. Laptop Magazine also reports that there’s a more tactile feel to the black keyboard since you seem to be able to push the keys down a little deeper.

The black Eee PC also has a rougher plastic texture, which I noticed when I checked one out at a local store. I personally prefer the smooth feeling plastic you get with the white Eee PC. But the black model may be easier to grip, and the texture gives you a bit more confidence that your computer isn’t going to fall off your lap.
