Raspberry Pi 500+ puts the Pi, 16GB of RAM, and a real SSD in a mechanical keyboard


Keyboard uses low-profile Gateron Blue switches and an RP2040 controller.

The computer is currently available to purchase from the usual suspects like CanaKit and Micro Center, and generally starts at $200, twice the price of the Pi 500. Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton's blog post about the 500+ says that the upgraded version of the computer has been in the works since the regular 500 was released last year.
