About this keyboard
The Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 is a full-size Bluetooth keyboard that brings the simplicity and precision of Apple's aluminium design to your desk. Introduced in 2009 and sold through 2015, the A1314 features a numeric keypad, function keys and low-profile scissor-mechanism keys in a slim silver aluminium body. Its wireless Bluetooth connection pairs with Mac, iPad and other compatible devices, giving you a clutter-free workspace without sacrificing the comfort of a full-size layout. Every refurbished unit at Buyer Area has been tested and graded, and comes with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns.
Designed for professionals, students and anyone who prefers a tactile typing experience, the A1314 combines Apple's signature low-travel keys with the convenience of wireless operation. The aluminium chassis is lightweight yet rigid, and the integrated power compartment requires two AA cells (not included). Bluetooth pairing is straightforward: press the power button, open your Mac's Bluetooth preferences, and the keyboard appears in seconds. Because the A1314 uses a standard scissor mechanism rather than a butterfly or Magic Keyboard design, key feel is consistent and reliable across the entire layout. It works equally well with macOS and iPadOS, and many users pair it with a Mac mini, iMac or iPad for a desktop setup that mirrors the comfort of Apple's wired keyboards from the same era.
Wireless Bluetooth connectivity and compatibility
The A1314 connects over Bluetooth, so there are no cables between the keyboard and your device. Range is typically several metres, and the connection remains stable even when you move the keyboard around your desk. The layout includes multimedia keys (volume, brightness, playback controls) that work natively with macOS and iPadOS. Windows and Linux users can pair the keyboard, though some function keys may require third-party utilities to map correctly. Power life depends on usage, with two AA alkaline cells typically lasting several months of daily typing. The keyboard enters sleep mode automatically after a period of inactivity, and wakes instantly when you press any key.
Who the refurbished Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 suits
Writers, designers and office workers who want a full-size layout without the clutter of cables will appreciate the A1314's combination of wireless freedom and familiar Apple key spacing. Students using an iPad as their main device can pair the keyboard for essay writing and note-taking, turning the tablet into a laptop-style workstation. Mac mini and iMac owners who prefer a keyboard with a numeric keypad – absent from Apple's compact Magic Keyboard – often choose the A1314 as a cost-effective alternative. Because this model is refurbished, it offers the same aluminium build quality and Bluetooth convenience at a lower entry point than buying the latest Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. Every unit at Buyer Area is tested, graded and backed by our 12-month warranty, so you can type with confidence from day one.
Choosing your refurbished A1314 configuration
The Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 was manufactured in a single silver aluminium finish throughout its production run, so all refurbished units share the same colour and layout. At Buyer Area, the A1314 is available in Grade A condition: fully tested and working, with Bluetooth functionality verified before dispatch. The keyboard requires two AA cells to operate, and these are not included in the box – you can use any standard AA alkaline or rechargeable cells. The unit you receive will be clean, tested and ready to pair the moment you insert the cells and press the power button.
What’s in the box
1× Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 — Refurbished and tested; power cells not included
Is the refurbished Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 compatible with my iPad?
Yes. The A1314 connects over Bluetooth and works with iPad models that support external Bluetooth keyboards. Pairing is straightforward: turn on the keyboard, open Bluetooth settings on your iPad, and select the keyboard when it appears. The function keys for volume, brightness and playback operate natively with iPadOS, making it a practical choice for students and professionals who use an iPad as their main device for writing and productivity.
Does the keyboard come with power cells?
No. The Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 requires two AA cells to operate, and these are not included in the box. You can use any standard AA alkaline or rechargeable cells. Once you insert the cells and press the power button, the keyboard is ready to pair with your Mac, iPad or other Bluetooth device. Power life varies with usage, but two AA alkaline cells typically last several months of daily typing.
What condition can I expect from a refurbished A1314?
Grade A is excellent, with very light signs of use. Grade B is good, with light signs of use such as fine scratches. Grade C is fair, with clear signs of use. Every grade is fully tested and working.
Can I use this keyboard with a Windows PC?
Yes. The A1314 pairs with Windows PCs and laptops that have Bluetooth. The keyboard layout is designed for macOS, so some keys – such as Command and Option – are labelled with Apple symbols rather than Windows equivalents. Typing, the numeric keypad and most function keys work without additional software, though you may need a third-party utility to remap media keys or adjust brightness controls. Many Windows users appreciate the A1314's aluminium build and scissor-key feel as an alternative to standard PC keyboards.
What is the range of the Bluetooth connection?
The Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 uses Bluetooth 2.1, with a typical working range of several metres in open space. Walls, metal surfaces and other wireless devices can reduce range, but in most office and home setups the keyboard maintains a stable connection across a desk or room. The keyboard enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity to conserve power, and wakes instantly when you press any key, reconnecting to your paired device in a fraction of a second.
What comes in the box with a refurbished Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314?
You receive the refurbished Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 itself, tested and graded. Power cells are not included, so you will need to supply two AA cells to operate the keyboard. No cable, manual or original packaging is included. The keyboard is ready to pair as soon as you insert the cells and press the power button, and it is backed by Buyer Area's 12-month warranty and 30-day returns policy.
How does Buyer Area test refurbished keyboards?
Every refurbished Apple Wireless Keyboard A1314 is tested for Bluetooth pairing, key response across the entire layout (including the numeric keypad and function keys), and power management. The keyboard is cleaned, graded for condition, and verified to operate correctly before it is listed for sale. Each unit comes with a 12-month warranty, so if any fault appears after purchase, Buyer Area will repair or replace the keyboard at no additional cost. You also have 30 days to return the keyboard with a full refund if it does not meet your needs.
