- 1If you haven’t powered up the Pi how do you know the keyboard doesn’t work? What makes you think it doesn’t work? Have you tried another keyboard? – Steve Robillard 8 hours ago
- But YouTube says this aluminium mechanical is good: 🙂 youtube.com/watch?v=2fsZLYlspHc. Have you bought a fake one for 299₹? – tlfong01 8 hours ago
- Or try these CoolerMasters with red Cherries, also low profile. (1) Avoid These Keyboards! – 2019feb15 3,805,052 views youtube.com/watch?v=S5-12O3kiho. Happy typing!. Cheers. – tlfong01 8 hours ago
- I connected the pi4 to the power supply and then i connected my wired keyboard to the pi. But the keyboard didn’t light up! . – Mohd. Tabish Khan 1 hour ago
- I would expect the keyboard needs driver software running on the Pi to control the LEDs. – CoderMike 23 secs ago

Ha, wait a second. The Rpi is not as clever as your PC. To “setup” Rpi, you don’t need any keyboard, you need a Windows PC to set it up, like this: (1) Use your clever WinPC to download the Rpi OS from the Internet (don’t ask me where, I forgot) and “copy” it to a micro SD card. (2) Power down Rpi, if it is up already. Insert micro SD card into Rpi micro SD card slot (There is no click sound, so don’t push too hard to break the card. (3) Power up Rpi, and if you see little red light, followed by little green light blinking, then your Rpi should be “set up”. (4) Now you need to “localize” your mouse, keyboard etc. I need to tell the Rpi that I speek the Chinese dialect Cantonese, but I am using an US layout keyboard, though I speak broken Britsh English. Ah, locking down bed time. See you tomorrow.

To “setup” Rpi, you don’t need any keyboard, you need a Windows PC to set it up, like this: (1) Use WinPC to download the Rpi OS “image” from the Internet (don’t ask me where, I forgot) and “copy” it to a micro SD card (yes, go buy one). (2) Power down Rpi, if it is up already. Insert micro SD card into Rpi micro SD card slot (There is no click sound, so don’t push too hard to break something. (3) Power up Rpi, and if you see little red light, followed by little green light blinking, and wait patiently till green blinking stops. Now then your Rpi should be “set up”. (4) Then you need to “localize” your mouse, keyboard. WiFi etc. Eg, I need to tell the Rpi that I am in Asia, speak the Chinese dialect Cantonese, but using an America layout keyboard, though I type broken Britsh English. Ah, locking down bed time. See you tomorrow.
