Raspberry Pi 500 (2024)

A Raspberry Pi 5 folded into a keyboard, this one drives two 4Kp60 displays — but both video outputs are Micro HDMI (Type D), not full-size, so you need micro-HDMI-to-HDMI cables or adapters from day one. Its USB-C socket carries power only: 5V at up to 5A from the official 27W supply, with no data and no DisplayPort Alt Mode. Three USB-A ports (two at 5Gbps, one at USB 2.0) handle peripherals, and wired networking is a full Gigabit RJ-45 rather than the 100Mbit port older Pi models used.

Raspberry Pi 5 built into a keyboard, with two Micro HDMI outputs at 4Kp60, three USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet and USB-C power in.

Notes & Compatibility

The same 2.4GHz quad-core Cortex-A76 and RP1 I/O controller as the Raspberry Pi 5, with 8GB LPDDR4X, built into a 78/79/83-key compact keyboard (layout varies by region) with a one-piece aluminium heatsink. The keyboard form factor makes this a desktop, not an accessory. VIDEO: both display outputs are Micro HDMI (Type D) — the smallest HDMI plug — so a micro-HDMI cable or adapter is mandatory; dual 4Kp60 is supported. The USB-C socket is POWER INPUT ONLY: 5V DC, no data, no DisplayPort Alt Mode; the official supply is 5V/5A (27W). No 3.5mm audio jack — audio travels over HDMI or USB. The horizontal 40-pin GPIO header is not a cable port and is not modeled. In production until at least January 2034.
