Overview

Any computer is incomplete without its two primary input peripherals i.e a keyboard & mouse. Raspberry Pi boards being a single board computers are no different.

So to complement their single board computers Raspberry PI came up with their official keyboards and mouse which are available in two colour variants i.e (Red / White) & (Black / Grey).

Keyboard

Raspberry Pi keyboard comes with 3 x USB host ports (USB Type A) and 1 x micro USB port. Three USB host ports gives easy access to connect external USB devices such as USB mouse, USB drives and other USB devices, whereas the micro USB port makes connection with the Raspberry Pi board and also powers the USB host ports.

Mouse

Raspberry Pi Official mouse comes with 3 buttons (Right, Left & the middle clicking scroll wheel). The scroll wheel helps in easy scrolling or zooming in or out for large documents as per your application support.

We recommend placing the mouse over a flat matte or a non reflective surface for better pointer accuracy. Avoid surfaces likes PVC or acrylic table tops.
