“Really nice keyboard for the price, plus it's nice and light and doesn't take up much room when it's not in use.
Using a UK layout in Pi OS, the keys that don't have the right legends on them are mostly what I'm used to from using a small Sejin UK keyboard with my PC - so the trick is not to look. Since this one has a few less keys, there are a couple of characters which aren't a single keystroke or shifted key stroke, but can be reached using the right ALT key (the Alt key to the right of the space bar, which is used like a Shift key).
\ (back slash) is Right-Alt used with the "-" key near top right)
"|" (sometime pronounced "pipe", in Linux) is Right-Alt used with the top left key.
FWIW, keys can be remapped in Linux, and it's fairly easy to find one of the ways of doing that. I haven't yet tried, but I assume that applies to Pi OS too, since it's based on Debian Linux.”
“This keyboard is doing just what I bought it for. Filling in while I set up a soon to be headless RPi computer. It is just the right size and price, and so far very reliable. I may even buy another one. I used to not like the chiclet-style keyboards, but the keys on this keyboard have more movement and are more similar to a regular keyboard.”
Hi there - sorry to hear that you didn't receive what you were expecting! I've bumped the note saying it's a US layout up the shop page a bit, but if you'd like to return it please get in touch with support@pimoroni.com and we'll send you our returns details.
“The first one did not work on one line of the board, unfortunately I only tested it several months after purchase. I explained this to Pimoroni and they sent me a replacement without any bother. Anyway the new 'board seems to work fine and has a nice touch to the keys. It being U.S. layout is the only real downside.”
“I purchased this to use in conjunction with my new Raspberry Pi 4. The keyboard was really well priced and is small enough to not get in the way. Really pleased with the product. Might upgrade in the future to a wireless connection, but I'm more than happy with the Slim Chiclet keyboard for now.”
“Second purchase of this model of keyboard. Good size and easy to use. Can be difficult to see "Caps Lock" & "Num Lock" lights but this is only a minor problem - knew this when ordering. Would order again if needed.”
