NEW PRODUCT – Raspberry Pi 500 Desktop – Full Computer Kit


Raspberry Pi 500 is a complete Raspberry Pi 5-based personal computer integrated into a keyboard.

Normally, you’d need to pick up a keyboard and other accessories to turn the Pi 5 into a functioning desktop – but since most keyboards have empty space, you can just cram the Pi 5 inside to make an all-in-one kit. Think of it like a modern Apple IIe, but super light and powerful.

There are 3 USB ports for adding USB mice, disk drives, or really any accessories that work with Linux. For video output, two HDMI ports can drive driving up to two monitors of any resolution up to 4k! There’s built-in Bluetooth and WiFi for internet connectivity, or plug in an Ethernet cable for fast wired networking.

Hackers can rejoice – you still get the classic 2×20 IDC port that can be used to connect to a breadboard or HAT/PHat/Bonnet. To connect to a breadboard for wiring up buttons and LED, use our T-Cobbler! To connect to a Bonnet/HAT, we recommend a 2×20 IDC cable + Mini HAT Hacker (the cable plugs in at the top of the HAT hacker, giving you two spots for accessory HATs.

Please note this product is the Pi 500 computer kit, which also comes with awesome extras:
