Used condition. Untested. Please refer to all photos carefully before purchasing. Condition as shown in images.

A used Apple A1243 wired USB full-size keyboard in UK QWERTY layout, complete with integrated numeric keypad. The A1243 is Apple’s classic aluminium-base keyboard — a well-regarded and sought-after design known for its low-profile scissor-switch keys, slim profile, and clean white-and-silver aesthetic. Compatible with Mac via USB-A; may also function with Windows PCs. Please note that most modern Macs no longer include USB-A ports natively — a USB-A hub or adapter may be required.

Condition (photo-verified — please read carefully):

• Overall: used — presents reasonably well at distance; closer inspection shows clear signs of regular use
• Keycaps: noticeably yellowed and discoloured throughout — particularly visible on the central letter keys and function row; yellowing is uneven and age-related rather than dirt; all key legends remain fully readable; no keys missing or loose
• Key surfaces: show shine and polish from finger contact on high-use keys; typical of a well-used keyboard
• Chassis: silver aluminium base structurally sound; minor surface scuffs consistent with desk use; no cracks or chips
• Underside: white plastic shows general age patina and light surface marks; moulded text legible; feet appear intact
• Cable: integrated USB cable; coiled and secured with a pink cable tie; cable insulation shows yellowing towards the USB-A end; no visible fraying or damage to the cable jacket
• USB-A connector: appears intact; no obvious damage visible
• Untested: functionality not confirmed; sold as seen
