Wireless keyboard not pairing with New Mac Mini M1

The A1314 is over a decade old, so yes, obsolete.

Brand loyalty can mean different things to different people, ditto for value. To me, the M1 is vastly underpriced, so the expense of a new keyboard and trackpad is essentially paid for, an easy decision. Furthermore, my loyalty is also partly due to Apple’s emphasis on security. Compatibility with older versions of Bluetooth cuts into that quite a bit.

Shrug it off and swipe! You won’t revisit this discussion the minute you have your hands on it. It’s charm to use and works without a hitch. You can skip the TouchID function and save 20 bucks. And while you’re at it consider plunking another $129 for a Magic trackpad as well, a real beaut.

Too bad I don’t get commission for these plugs 😁🍻

A new Magic keyboard which works and switches between wired/wireless automatically and comes with a later, more secure Bluetooth version, would be a very good move! Excellent value for money, well worth considering.
