The size of the keys/keyboard layout are the same, however, it's the size of the casing that is different. There is more area to left and right and a much larger area to the north of the function keys. The classic weighs about ~1 pound more than the spacesaver, too. Compared to any other modern keyboard the spacesaver is probably the same or bigger, though. But my point is that the original is huge. :)
