Raspberry Pi 500+
Description
Raspberry Pi 500+ puts the power of Raspberry Pi 5’s quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller into an ergonomic and tactile mechanical keyboard, combining uncompromising performance with 16GB RAM and 256GB NVMe storage for a truly premium desktop computer experience.
Coming equipped with Gateron KS-33 Blue low-profile switches, which have long travel times and quick actuation for a comfortable and smooth typing experience. Want a more custom look? A keycap puller is included so that you can change the default keys, To add to the look of the keycaps the Raspberry Pi 500+ also features bright, crisp LEDs set beneath the mechanical switches. Cycle through the preset patterns or individually program the LEDs for a truly custom look.
Further within the Raspberry Pi 500+, is fitted a 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD for super-fast boot times and quick, reliable data transfer. Using the included tool to open the case, you can swap the SSD to increase storage capacity.
