Members on the Eee User forums have revealed, after testing the theory out, that the new chiclet style keyboards that are fitted on the 1000HE and 1000HA models of Eee PC netbook are actually compatible with the 10″ Eee PC 1000H model and it is entirely possible to upgrade that model to the chiclet keyboard, although the part needed is only available currently in the US and some users are reporting problems such as keys not working. More details are available in the forum thread along with updates on potential issues that may arise.

Asus sell the chiclet keyboard here and it isn’t expensive either, running out at $15 and the install consists of a quick swap of the currently installed keyboard and a few modifications to the new keyboard to fit it to the chassis on your netbook.
