Some information about this classic Apple peripheral:
Release and Features: This full-size wired USB keyboard was released in May 2003, replacing the earlier Apple Pro Keyboard. It features a clear curved case, white keycaps, a numeric keypad, and a row of function keys (F1-F16). It also includes dedicated volume and eject keys.
Connectivity: The A1048 connects via a permanent USB-A cable and notably includes two built-in USB ports at the rear, initially supporting USB 1.1 speeds and upgraded to USB 2.0 in 2005. These ports were useful for connecting other peripherals like a mouse or flash drive.
Key Design: It uses rubber-dome switches, providing a more traditional key travel compared to later low-profile designs, and lacks the adjustable feet of some predecessors.
Legacy: The A1048 was the last standard-style keyboard produced by Apple before the introduction of the flat, aluminum keyboards in 2007, and was officially discontinued at that time. It shipped with various Mac models, including later iMac G4s, all iMac G5s, Power Mac G5s, white Intel iMacs, and early Mac Pros.
Product specifications, the approximate dimensions are:
Width: 16.48 inches (41.87 cm)
Depth: 4.52 inches (11.49 cm)
Height: Ranges from 0.16 inches (0.41 cm) to 0.43 inches (1.09 cm) due to its angled profile.
Weight: Approximately 0.86 lbs (0.39 kg).
