US Layout Version

The Raspberry Pi keyboard and hub include three host ports for external devices. These can be used for connecting a USB mouse, USB drives, or other USB-controlled devices.

The MicroUSB port in the center is for connection to the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi provides control and power to the three USB Type-A ports via the USB hub built into the keyboard.

Raspberry Pi Keyboard Hub

Features of the keyboard

The official Raspberry Pi keyboard and hub provide three lock keys. These are Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock. There are three LEDs in the top right corner to indicate which locks are enabled.

Caps Lock – Enables capital letters to be typed. Use the Shift key to produce lowercase letters in this mode. This mode is enabled and disabled by pressing the Caps Lock key.

Num Lock – This enables the red number keys on the letter keys. This is useful for entering numbers like a calculator. This mode is enabled and disabled by pressing the Num Lock key.

Scroll Lock – This enables the cursor keys for browsing. This is a way of browsing web pages and spreadsheets without the mouse. This mode is enabled and disabled by pressing the ScrLk key while holding the Fn key.

Raspberry Pi Keyboard Hub

Connection diagram

This is the recommended configuration of the Raspberry Pi and keyboard and mouse. The hub on the keyboard ensures easy access to USB drives, and the mouse cable can be short and tidy. The mouse cable is still long enough to use in your left hand as well.

Note: It is important that the power supply is connected to the Raspberry Pi, and the keyboard is powered by the Raspberry Pi. If the power adaptor is connected to the keyboard with the Raspberry Pi powered from the keyboard, then the keyboard will not operate correctly.

Excellen, so mush easy to work with the raspberrypi.

Great keyboard

Purchased this to use with my Raspberry Pi 5. Works great. Don't need a large regular keyboard and this works perfectly for me. I would recommend it for those not needing a standard one with separate numbers, etc

Satisfied

In case anyone else is in the same boat and was wondering, yes, you can pop the top of this off and swap it onto your Raspberry Pi 400 if you (despite your best efforts to prevent it) have a freak accident that results in the original keyboard being full of Sprite. It's identical. As for Vilros, shipped quickly and easily with no fuss, so no complaints there.

Can't get used to it

I wanted to like it but the keys are just very stiff and feel unnatural. I need to hit them very hard to type anything without missing a key. On the plus side I really do love the colors and the USB hub.

Raspberrypi official keyboard

Good solid keyboard for the money. Vikros shipping was quick and the item was well packed. Package arrived well before the scheduled time. I will order from Vilros again without hesitation.

"Great Brittain keyaboard" (lacks important buttons like | ("pipe")

I ordered this in October 2020 (Order # 34678) because I needed a keyboard that works with Pi zero's, and this does, but be aware that Great Britain keyboards lack some buttons like the pipe key which is incredibly important in Linux. Because of this I immediately threw it in the junk drawer. I couldn't find my other keyboard, so I grabbed this one, and was instantly reminded why it is so frustrating. I've now spent more time trying to get the keyboard working than I have actually installing and configuring the device I needed to use the keyboard on, all because I am 100% stuck behind the inability to pipe a curl command to bash with ONE KEY ("|"). Alt +124 doesn't work, and there is no UI to copy/paste the key, nor does the device have network access to ssh into the device.
So be aware that if you choose this keyboard, you are in for a ton of headaches with basic Linux commands.

Fast shipping

I received exactly what I ordered. Will definitely buy from Vilros again in the future.

Keith (San Jose, US)

I was originally looking for a wireless keyboard but not finding any reasonably priced ones that I liked. Since the Pi keyboard has a USB hub, I can plug my mouse into it and have only one wire going to the Pi, so I decided it would be fine. I'm very happy with it. It looks nice and seems well made.

Perfect solution for my lab setup. The smaller size and the included hub to connect the mouse keeps my work space clear and organized, so that I can focus on my work.

Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Hub — simple, robust and flawless. Love the Pro black and grey color scheme. Official and US$17, what more to be said. Vilros made it easy, all items in stock and delivered in two days during a pandemic.

Note that Scroll Lock, its function and status indicator light, are not currently enabled by default in current Raspberry Pi OS Xorg implementation. After a fruitless search of the forums, I reached out to RPi directly, who were kind enough to identify the issue and point me in the direction of the solution. See GitLab xkeyboard-config, Issue 194 submitted by CJ Duncan for more. All good.

This keyboard is great! It works well and has 3 usb ports in the back, perfect for connecting my mouse and game controllers. The white and pink colors also look good together, and it has a nice portable size. The package came promptly even during a time of high demand for shipping.

This little guy rocks! Easy to put together and get running. I had already ordered a 128 GB SD card with tons of game ROMS so installed that once I put the mini “Nintendo” clone together. Super cool to be able to play video games from the past!
I had it running for a few weeks with no problems, then the fan started making a grinding noise. I emailed the folks at Vilros and in less than a week they sent not just a new fan, but a whole new case! The replacement fan is very quiet.
I wouldn’t hesitate to order from these folks again because they stand behind their products! In fact, this is the second kit I ordered from Vilros. Keep up the good work folks!

I really enjoy using this keyboard with my Pi's. It's nice and compact for use when mobile!
