History

On May 6, 2003, Apple released the Apple Keyboard in parallel with the new eMac (ATI Graphics). The enclosure was similar to the white Apple Pro Keyboard, but the USB ports had been moved to the back of the keyboard and the lower adjustment bar had been replaced with a fixed foot.

Trivia

• On May 6, 2003 Apple launched the new keyboard together with the eMac with ATI graphics card, maintaining a white design similar to the Pro Keyboard but with important constructive innovations. • Unlike the previous model, the keyboard's USB ports were strategically moved to the back to reduce clutter on the user's desk. • The adjustment bar on the bottom was replaced by a solid foot, improving the keyboard's stability and practicality during daily use.
