Mini Chiclet Keyboard – USB Wired – Black

The Mini Chiclet Keyboard – USB Wired – Black is a sleek and compact keyboard made for users who want a reliable typing solution without taking up too much desk space. Adafruit describes it as a good-quality, slim keyboard for Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, and other single-board computers, while also noting that it works well with PCs and Macs. Because it uses a standard USB connection and functions as a regular HID keyboard, it can be used with nearly any device that supports USB host input.

This keyboard features a full QWERTY layout, making it suitable for everyday tasks such as coding, terminal input, office work, media control, and educational projects. Its chiclet-style design gives it a modern, clean appearance, and its smaller footprint helps keep workstations tidy. Adafruit also highlights that it was selected to provide a comfortable typing feel while remaining compact enough for projects where a full-size keyboard may be inconvenient.

For Raspberry Pi users, this keyboard is especially useful as a simple wired input device for setup, configuration, and daily use. Adafruit notes that Raspberry Pi users may need to adjust their keyboard settings to the USA PC104 layout for the best experience. This makes it a practical accessory for hobbyists, makers, students, and developers building Raspberry Pi systems or compact desktop stations.

The keyboard measures approximately 285.0mm x 123.0mm x 22.0mm, which is about 11.2″ x 4.8″ x 0.9″, and it weighs around 237.2 grams. These dimensions make it compact enough for smaller setups while still offering comfortable everyday usability.
