"The Raspberry Pi 500 Plus is the first to feature an M.2 2280 SSD socket for storage in addition to an SD card slot that can be used to hold the OS. It comes with 256GB of storage, but it's easily accessible if you want to swap in a larger SSD. Available now for $200, the Raspberry Pi 500 Plus is considerably more expensive than the Raspberry Pi 500 that's still available for $90, but the upgrades aren't just limited to expanded storage."
"It now features Gateron KS-33 Blue mechanical switches and custom-designed low-profile keycaps (which are replaceable) with a spray-painted finish that has also been laser etched to allow newly added programmable RGB lighting to shine through. Inside the 500 Plus, you'll also find an RP2040 microcontroller running the QMK open source firmware. Other specs carried over from the standard Raspberry Pi 500 computer keyboard include support for Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth, a gigabit Ethernet port."
Raspberry Pi 500 Plus upgrades the compact computer-in-a-keyboard design by adding an M.2 2280 SSD socket alongside an SD card slot and shipping with 256GB of onboard storage. The device uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor paired with 16GB of LPDDR4x-4267 RAM for improved performance over the previous model. The keyboard now offers Gateron KS-33 Blue mechanical switches, replaceable low-profile keycaps with a laser-etched spray-painted finish, programmable RGB lighting, and an RP2040 microcontroller running QMK firmware. Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet, two micro HDMI ports, three USB‑A ports, and USB‑C power. The standalone unit costs $200, with a $220 Desktop Kit that adds cables, a power supply, and a mouse.
