Keyboard is from an iMac the family bought about 2009. The big thick 25 inch (?) version.
Not sure there is a way to update from version 0.5.0. This is screen shot from my Settings -> keyboard ->
from the Mac Studio I have.
Thoughts?
Keyboard still works. Interested in keeping until is finally breaks or dies, but if needed will consider a new keyboard.

Please look on the bottom or back panel of the board for a model mnumber. IT will either be in the format "M####" or "A####" where "#" represents numbers.
It was not until the thin-line aluminium-case "A1243" in 2007 that keyboards had upgradeable firmware.

Yes, that would be a 3rd generation Apple Wireless keyboard, that came out in Oct. 2009. The predecessors to the Apple Magic keyboard line.
... so, I'm sure Allan Jones is correct, and this one should be upgradeable.
Maybe this one: 2009 Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0
You just might be able to!!!
I broke out the Apple Card and bought a new magic keyboard for Mac Silicon devices. Different feel, but works the same overall. I like Touch ID to unlock and open apps, etc...
And after connecting, I checked the version. was something like 1.0.5. I plugged in to charge and checked about an hour later. Already up to the 2.0.6. quite zippy on that stealth download.
Hi @Allan Jones
Hmm, just double-checking my records, but wasn't the second generation (3-batteries, aluminum) Apple Wireless Keyboard an "A1255?"
Yeah, knew it was old The # is A1314. Has the 2- AA battery to charge.. Still works, might put in closet to see if it gains value?!?!?!
Just checked mine, is version A1314. Has 2 - AA Batteries.

Ha! Too funny. I wonder what I can get for my Apple IIc, Commodore 64, or old Polaroid 108 Land camera? ;)
Is my Magic Keyboard too old to update?
