NB 205 keyboard differences: Has anyone been able to compair the color versions with the "black" version ( NB205-N210 )?

The black version has a traditional non-chiclet-style keyboard. The chiclet keyboard's key's are a little smaller but there is more space between them (about the same as on a standard laptop keyboard), while the black version's keys are much closer together.

Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

I've never had a white keyboard, so I can't help you. THey are the same as on any other keyboard.S

If you wish to place them in the QWERTY layout instead of the Dvorak, that is possible. The blue does stand out nicely from the black and I am able to see both sets of letters nicely. If your issue is simply contrast levels, you might want to go with a brighter color like yellow or bright green. However, if you are having a hard time reading the keyboard because the letters are too small, than you might want to think about looking into getting a large-print keyboard. You can easily find them with a Google search and right here on Amazon. Those keyboards are specially made so that the lettering is easier to see and a few give higher contrast levels by having black letters on a yellow background.

The difference is color. One is full black, gb35452 is gray-blue, gb35380 is black n blue.

Hi, I don't know what version it is, I think it may be the cyborg version and yes the keys do light up and yes you can choose the colour

I agree. I bough the black model and the keyboard is great! Plenty of size. In fact I'm typing this post off of my nb205-210 right now. I prefer the look of this computer over the more expensive -310 version. This model is a no brainer if you don't need wifi. That is why I got this model. You will be happy with this keyboard, works great!

Hi James, I looked closely at the photos online, and compared them to the keyboard that I purchased, and other than the fact that you do not see the cord each time, the photos show the same keyboard. The lighting may make it appear that there are color variations from photo to photo, but otherwise they are the same. The keyboard has a black outer housing, with an insert of medium to dark gray, and has black keys with white letters/numbers. The 3 LED's for Number Lock, Caps Lock, and Screen Lock are blue. I like this keyboard, and it's one of the first multimedia keyboards I've owned that I've actually UTILIZED the multimedia buttons. My only real ISSUE is with the arrangement of the home keys (Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Dn, Ins, & Del) All of my previous keyboards have had 2 rows of three keys. THIS keyboard has 2 COLUMNS of 3 keys. It takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise, I'm pleased with this keyboard. I hope this helps!

Hey, David. It's mainly the green LED back-lit keys. I recommend the expert edition though. As all it's keys are programmable, it does have the green LED back-lit keys, and it's just a lot more fun to look at. :)

I just ordered the N5902, and I was watching reviews that when paired to the xbox the mouse does not work. You have to use the directional pad arrows to navigate the menus. Typing in search or chat or url works just like any other ordinary keyboard. Hope that helps if you havent purchased one already. I think it's a neat and compact design so i want to give it a try. The keyboard reminds me of the old Blackberry BOLD phone keyboards (Which i liked)

yeah there is probably no deference, also sometimes business keyboards come with the numerical keys added to the side but again this type of keyboard probably doesn't have that option.

The original keyboard was 58221; that's the P/N on the bottom one I still have in service, which I bought maybe 20 years ago. They haven't been manufactured in a long time, and I was unable to find a used one on the internet. The entire board layout was larger than the MS replacement I also use. The ten keys between the letter keys and the number pad were, in the first model, laid our more intuitively. But any MS ergonomic keyboard is vastly easier to use than any rectangular model. And if it feels a little strange at first, after a couple of days it won't. And it's far less stressful on hands and arms.

It does. If you look up "N82", the black version is in the results. In fact I'm looking at a link to it on the right-hand sidebar right now.

I have the X505-Q898, and it works perfectly - no backlight like the original, but that's what I get for spilling soda on it :-) I also bought the silicone protective cover for the new keyboard just in case...

Is no one of thoose. The new one is the WG-S20. But of the free, the newest is the WG-N20. I think the last character is for b=black or w=white, but I'm not 100% sure.

I actually prefer the black keyboard more than the colored ones.They are less stiff but are still large in comparison to most notebooks.The only other keyboard thats comparable to the black toshiba in terms of feel is the HP Mini series; I like the HP just a tad more, but as a whole, the Toshiba is a much nicer system!

The "color" of the switches mean the model of them, see an article about this here: http://tinyurl.com/73s9xfxBacklight is red on my keyboard.
