Chapter 2 Getting started with your Raspberry Pi^27THE OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI BEGINNER’S GUIDE
Connecting a keyboard and mouse
Connect the keyboard’s USB cable to any of the four USB ports on the Raspberry Pi. When the
keyboard is connected, simply do the same for the mouse.
The USB connectors for the keyboard and mouse should slide home without too much
pressure; if you’re having to force the connector in, there’s something wrong. Check that the
USB connector is the right way up!
KEYBOARD & MOUSE
The keyboard and mouse act as your main means of telling the
Raspberry Pi what to do; in computing, these are known as input
devices, in contrast with the display which is an output device.
