Raspberry Pi Keyboard

by Raspberry Pi

A slick and sturdy keyboard with built-in 3-port USB hub (to free up the USB ports on your Pi). It's the perfect keyboard for your Raspberry Pi!

Overview

Our official keyboard includes three host USB ports for connecting external devices, such as USB mice, USB drives, and other USB-controlled devices.

The product’s micro USB port is for connection to the Raspberry Pi. Via the USB hub built into the keyboard, the Raspberry Pi controls, and provides power to, the three USB Type A ports

Connection diagram

This is the configuration we recommend for using your Raspberry Pi, official keyboard and hub, and official mouse together. The hub on the keyboard ensures easy access to USB drives, and the mouse’s cable is tidy, while being long enough to allow you to use the mouse left- or right-handed.

Note: It is important that the power supply is connected to the Raspberry Pi and the keyboard is connected to the Raspberry Pi. If the power supply were connected to the keyboard, with the Raspberry Pi powered via the keyboard, then the keyboard would not operate correctly.
