History and documentation
A1048 identifies the white wired Apple Keyboard that repair sources and the mac27 collection place in 2003. It is not that year's Apple Wireless Keyboard. Its fixed USB cable and underside identification distinguish the products despite their similar white keys.
Design and specifications
The design includes a numeric keypad, inverted-T arrow keys, F1 through F16, and volume and eject controls. Two USB ports sit at the rear beside the cable exit. The included photograph shows a US layout, not every regional layout.
Use and context
The transparent case fitted closely around the keys distinguishes it from the earlier Apple Pro Keyboard. The A1048 family had revisions, so a USB-hub speed is not assigned to each unit from its name alone. The introduction year is retained without presenting a private collection's exact day as an official Apple date.
