Raspberry Pi 500+ Desktop Kit

The Raspberry Pi 500+ Desktop Kit provides everything you need for a full Raspberry Pi 500+ setup - just add a monitor! Comes with a Raspberry Pi 500+, mouse, USB-C power supply, HDMI cable and the Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide.

This official desktop kit is the best way to get started with the Raspberry Pi 500+, including the main unit and all the official Raspberry Pi accessories you need to get up and running. All you need to add is a monitor, and you're ready to go! Raspberry Pi 500+ is a premium computer built into a high-quality mechanical keyboard. Powered by the same quad-core 64-bit ARM processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 500+ features 16GB RAM and a pre-installed 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD. The keyboard uses Clicky Gateron KS-33 Blue mechanical keyboard switches and ergonomic low-profile keycaps, and has individually addressable backlight RGB LEDs. An integrated one-piece aluminium heatsink provides improved thermal performance, ensuring your Pi 500+ will have no problem under load or displaying dual 4K display output. Tools are included for opening the case, allowing you to replace the SSD and/or swap out the default keycaps. Instructions are available over on Raspberry Pi's documentation website. We also stock the Raspberry Pi 500+ unit on its own, allowing you to use your existing accessories and peripherals. Important Notes

* Raspberry Pi 500+ is longer and taller than the original Raspberry Pi 500.

* Most existing protective sleeves designed for Pi400/500 will not fit.

* Clicky mechanical keyboard - some love the sound and feel, some hate it!

* Not for you? Consider a Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop Kit instead.
