“This PSU is fantastic . I was running my oi 599 with a psy for a pi4 which worked but bit without complaints from raspberry pi is so I upgraded and the 500 is la lit happier now. My only issue which is nothing to do with the great Pimoroni is the cable length which is a lot shorter but oh well. A great producy from a great company”
“This official 27W PSU is absolutely essential for the Raspberry Pi 5.
I initially tried using a standard USB-C charger and quickly realised the Pi 5 needs proper power delivery to unlock full performance and avoid throttling or USB issues. After switching to the official PSU, everything became stable and consistent.
Pros:
• Provides full power required by Pi 5
• No undervoltage warnings
• Stable when using SSDs, fans, and USB devices
• High-quality cable and build
• Plug and play
If you’re buying a Raspberry Pi 5, don’t try to save money here — just get the official power supply. It ensures maximum performance and stability.”
