The first thing you’ll notice when you see a black DSi is the colour of it. It is in fact a very dark shade of black. It is not as shiny as the old DS Lite but has a gritty look to it. The buttons on its top of the console stick out a little more than they used to which makes them easier to press. The Directional pad doesn’t stick out as far as it used to which kind of makes it easier to press. The power button has been moved to it is now on the front of the black DSi.
