“Perfect Replacement for Raspberry Pi 400 Keyboard - Simple DIY Fix
★★★★★ 5/5 Stars
This keyboard proved to be an excellent replacement for my daughter's faulty Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard. The installation process was remarkably simple - taking less than a minute without requiring any tools. The internal ribbon cable matches the Pi 400's specifications perfectly.
Pros:
Perfect compatibility with Raspberry Pi 400
Tool-free installation
Quick delivery from Pimoroni
Well-packaged product
Straightforward case opening (with careful handling)
Worth noting: While PiHut claimed the keyboard wasn't replaceable, this Pimoroni keyboard worked flawlessly as a replacement. The case can be opened carefully by hand, and the ribbon cable connects exactly like the original.
Highly recommended for anyone needing to replace their Pi 400 keyboard. The simplicity of installation makes this a great DIY fix, even though this isn't explicitly mentioned in the product description.
Tip: Be gentle when opening the case to avoid damage, but no special tools are required for the entire process.”
“I got this keyboard because it is a USB expander so I can hook up a mouse as well on an oldish Pi 3A+ for a project.
Works fine. Familiar because I use a Pi400 for development.”
“Yet another brilliant and well thought out accessory.. super useful having an inbuilt USB hub in the keyboard, all powered via the neatly wonderful raspberry Pi.. Pimoroni, as always delivered exemploary, speedy service”
“If you want a small keyboard this is an OK layout and key feel, the 3 port USB hub is a nice extra.
I have grown used to an A4Tech KL-5 which has an extra column of navigation keys and has stood the test of time, inexplicably not available anymore, so for the price this seemed best alternative”
