NB 205 keyboard differences The only NB 205 I've been able to lay my hands on are the "color" versions. I like the chiclet keyboard ( reminds me of the old "Color Computer" ), but do not need the Bluetooth. Has anyone been able to compair the color versions with the "black" version ( NB205-N210 )? I have read that the black version is different? True / False Good / Bad ???????Thanks, NB 205 keyboard differences The only NB 205 I've been able to lay my hands on are the "color" versions.

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!

I'm very happy with my blue Toshiba netbook. The keyboard is amazingly fast and accurate. And the exterior is super-elegant and professional looking. Installing the 2 GB module was a "snap." For some reason, I'm not able to log on to Windows Messenger on my Toshiba. The settings are exactly the same as for Yahoo Messenger, which works just fine. Skype works fine too. Can't figure out why Windows Messenger won't connect.

YIKES! I planned to get some color...only for the fun. I'll have to go in person and check the keyboards (black VS color). Thanks for this good info.

Sean, why do you say it's a no brainer if you don't need wifi???? I would think most people need wifi. I have the brown one and use the wifi all the time.

I use bluetooth for my Microsoft Wireless mouse, so I don't have to worry about the USB dongle getting lost/broken. It does use up more battery juice though.

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!

I'm sure what Sean meant is that the black model is a no brainer if you dont need bluetooth. All models come with integrated wi-fi.

Kay - In playing with a color version on display at a local store, I think you will like the keyboard. It feels great as well as looks good. I started this post due to not being able to get a hands-on feel for the black keyboard.

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.

I never got one of this brand because they were out of stock and wound up getting the one from Poetic. It looks exactly the same - probably all from the same manufacturer with different branding. You have to be a little bit patient. Make sure you have pushed and held down for a few seconds the button to the right of the on/off switch on the keyboard after you have turned it on. Settings has to say it is "paired" not merely connected. When everything is working, the blue light on the keyboard does not flash; after pairing, wait until it stops flashing, then try it again. Hope this helps. I never got one of this brand because they were out of stock and wound up getting the one from Poetic.

Thanks so much Gadget -very helpful comments. I did not realize the keyboard was different in the HE model and had heard some negative about the HA keyboard. I hadn't given the Bluetooth any consideration so that was good to know.I went ahead and purchased the HE this afternoon - bottom line, you were exactly such little difference in price no need not to get the new model. Not to mention the increased battery life is very good.Anxiously awaiting my new 1000HE.Best Regards - EvelynPS - these Amazon forums sure are helpful. Nice service.

I don't know what the other one is like. This one has 2 USB ports in the keyboard. If the less expensive one does not, that is probably what the 2.0 means.

I am thinking of purchasing the blue version and would love to have an answer to your question.

The 6000 keyboard is an older version of the 5000 keyboard. They are essentially the same product, but one reviewer said the older one was a bit more difficult to connect to a computer. I bought the 5000 model a year ago and it has worked fine for me.

i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (i dont need both so my neice gets the older one for school). I love them both! The main difference (to me at least) is the new one has a much brighter crisper display. A problem tho is a little reflection from the illuminated keyboard on the glossy screen. Not a dealbreak but annoying. Still not sure if i prefer the new b/w design or the old all silver. Well thats personal taste of course. Oh & the keyboard is softer(thats good!) to the touch onthe newer one. I think youll be happy with either&(as Macs are so pricey) maybe go with the older if you get a good deal! hope this helps, jon i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro.

sorry, I don't understand the question. Do you mean if you bought another 2110? Then the answer is yes. On the other hand, if you decide to buy a different computing device then I would be interested in buying the keyboard from you.

Yes, the shift keys don't click as noticeably as the others but even they have the same overall responsive feel. I hadn't even noticed the slight difference in sound from the shift keys until I started checking to see if there were any differences. I wonder if they used MX red on the shift keys and blue everywhere else.

Thanks, silly mistake really, I had did a bit of dyslexic typing. All is well now and the keyboard has paired with my blackberry.I will add here that I did upgrade to OS 4.2.1 which did not come with my BB even though i just bought it last week. After that and downloading Marco's file directly into my bb, everything was a breeze.Thanks again, D.

It actually feels like it should have been the keyboard that came with the computer. The original keyboard had a nice feel to it, but the new keyboard, I must say I like the feel of it much better. I will try to explain: The old keyboard had that 'sitting' up feeling to it...while the new keyboard has a 'seated' feel, which I much more prefer. I'm not sure if that makes any sense but I hope so. It's very responsive to the touch and doesn't look, feel, nor respond as if it were cheaply built at all.

I just want to be sure, this keyboard is compatible with the nook color tablet? This is because I have been looking at the others and majority of them say they are not compatible with the nook at all.

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)

My issue with the keyboard had nothing to do with how it worked but only with the item, because I ordered the white but received the black fully functional keyboard. I actually make out in this mistake due to the fact the white touch is originally cheaper.

i have the older model...i would say the big difference to me would be the color..mine is entirely black.

I have the original G15 and I hope it never breaks since the change was pretty drastic. The color orange is good since when I have a lot of white on my monitor the keys are barely readable since the reflection from the monitor makes my blue keys hard to see. I currently use 14 of the keys, most with shortcuts to programs. I memorize where they are and I have one button access to them. The fewer keys now means that I will now I have to use the M button to toggle and then select. This adds another step, but I guess it's fine since I only use 14 of the 54 keys provided. I rarely use them in-game. I have the original G15 and I hope it never breaks since the change was pretty drastic.

This replacement keyboard is black not grey or silver. I did replace the silver one in my laptop and it works fine and looks great, you'd never realize that it is not the original keyboard.
