---

Raspberry Pi 500+ is a premium computer built into a high-quality mechanical keyboard, redefining the compact PC experience for power users and enthusiasts.

Powered by the same quad-core 64-bit ARM processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 500+ features 16GB RAM to handle the most memory-intensive workloads, and a pre-installed 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD for blazingly-fast I/O performance. Clicky Gateron KS-33 Blue mechanical keyboard switches are paired with ergonomic low-profile keycaps and individually addressable RGB LEDs.

The Raspberry Pi 500+ also integrates a one-piece aluminium heatsink for improved thermal performance, ensuring your Pi 500+ will run fast and smoothly even under heavy load, while delivering glorious dual 4K display output.

Tools are included for opening the case to replace the SSD and for swapping out the default keycaps. Comprehensive instructions are available over on Raspberry Pi's documentation website.

We also stock the Raspberry Pi 500+ Desktop Kit, which comes with a mouse, USB-C power supply and an HDMI cable, along with the Official Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide.
