This is a mouse. But, hark, it’s no generic mouse. It’s the Official Raspberry Pi Mouse!
It’s optical for good resolution and precision, three buttons, and has a sturdy USB connector. The track wheel has a good spin and click action. The right and left click also make a nice satisfying sound which we always enjoy. It’s small, but not too small, yet big enough to fit your hand comfortably.
Specifications:
Three-button optical mouse
Scroll wheel
USB type-A connector (60cm long cable)
Compatible with all Raspberry Pi products, and any other computer with a USB port
Ergonomic design for comfortable use
Dimensions: 110 x 65 x 32mm
Next up, the Official Raspberry Pi Keyboard!
We’re carrying the Official Raspberry Pi Keyboard! It’s got 3 built-in USB ports (which frees up the USB ports on your Pi! It’s a peripheral party!). The keyboard is a full QWERTY keyboard and is compatible with all operating systems.
While we love grab-bag, mixed, and assorted things, sometimes it’s rather nice to have a matching set of keyboard and mouse! You can pick up the Official Raspberry Pi Mouse too, if y’like!
Keyboard Specifications:
78 keys, US layout
3 x USB 2.0 type-A ports for connecting other peripherals
Automatic keyboard language detection
USB type-A to micro USB type-B cable for connection (1m long)
