Official Raspberry Pi Keyboard – Black and Gray
We’re carrying the Official Raspberry Pi Keyboard! It includes a USB hub with 3 built-in 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.
Official Raspberry Pi USB Optical Mouse – Black and Gray
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.
Break-away 0.1″ 36-pin strip male header – Black – 10 pack
Breakaway header is like the duct tape of electronics. Its great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, fits into any breakout or breadboard, etc. We go through these guys real fast, and thought that given how handy they are, we’d offer them in a pack of ten!
Each pack contains 10 36-pin long headers, 0.1″ pitch, that can be stacked next to each other on a 0.1″ grid and broken apart easily with pliers or diagonal cutters. They’re even gold plated so they wont oxidize!
We have these in Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White and a Rainbow Pack!
20-pin 0.1″ Female Headers – Rainbow Color Mix – 5 pack
Female header is like the duct tape of electronics. It’s great for connecting things together, soldering to perf-boards, sockets for wires or break-away header, etc. We go through these real fast, and thought that given how handy they are, we’d offer them in a pack of five!
Each pack contains five candy-colored 20-pin 0.1″ pitch female headers. These are a little extra special in that the plastic holding the pins together is made of colored plastic instead of classic black.
This is a Rainbow Pack, We also have 5 packs of Blue, Green, Red, White and Yellow!
Side-light Fiber Optic Tube – 5mm Diameter – 1 meter long
Yay, a plastic tube! No, we jest. This is no ordinary plastic tube, but rather a side-lighting fiber optic tube.
This is a pretty neat way to glow up. Light in the fiber optic cable zooms through the core by constantly bouncing off of the edge of the molded plastic, a principle called “total internal reflection” (which also kinda sounds like a very expensive meditation island retreat). When the light pipe doesn’t have total reflection, you can get a nifty lighting effect from the light illuminating the plastic tubing.
Side-light Fiber Optic Tube – 4mm Diameter – 1 meter long
This tube is 4mm diameter, but is nice and flexible plastic and when lit with a powerful LED, has a nice glowing effect. You can cut it down from 1 meter with diagonal cutters.
Fiber Optic Light Source – 1 Watt – Red
All you need is a way to get a ton of photons into your light pipe, and that’s what this is! It’s Fiber Optic Light Source in a fiery red color. It’s a high powered LED cluster, you need to power it with 9-12V and 100mA of current, the metal body acts as a heat sink. Then, installation is a breeze. Just loosen the clear knob on the LED emitter and slide one of our fiber optic tubes.
Note: This is just the fiber optic LED. You’ll also want to grab a fiber optic tube.
We also have this light source in Green, Blue, Pink and White!
Adafruit Metro M4 Express AirLift (WiFi) – Lite
Give your next project a lift with AirLift – our witty name for the ESP32 co-processor that graces this Metro M4.

Now cooked in directly on board, you get a certified WiFi module that can handle all your TLS and socket needs, it even has root certificates pre-loaded.
Adafruit PyBadge for MakeCode Arcade, CircuitPython or Arduino
Coming soon! Sign up to be notified when we have these in stock
What’s the size of a credit card and can run CircuitPython, MakeCode Arcade or Arduino? That’s right, its the Adafruit PyBadge! We wanted to see how much we could cram into a 3 3⁄8 × 2 1⁄8 inch rounded rectangle, to make an all-in-one dev board with a lot of possibilities, and this is what we came up with.
The PyBadge is a compact board, like we said, it’s credit card sized. It’s powered by our favorite chip, the ATSAMD51, with 512KB of flash and 192KB of RAM. We add 2 MB of QSPI flash for file storage, handy for images, fonts, sounds, or game assets.
