The last time I checked, a couple years ago, both MacBook Airs and all three MacBook Pros used the exact same QWERTY keyboard. The larger machines have more space between the outer edge of the keyboard and the edge of the machine. The MacBook Air 11", on the other hand, has the keyboard to the edges (right and left) of the machine.
The new MacBook, on the other hand, has keys which are a little less tactile.
