This is the official 7” Touchscreen display from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This 800 x 480 display has 10-finger touch and on-screen keyboard functionality.

It’s large enough to create an all-in-one, integrated project such as an infotainment system or tablet, while still being small enough for portability. Connecting it to the Raspberry Pi is simple with an adapter board that handles both power and signal conversion.

There are two connections: the first is power through the Pi’s GPIO port, and the second is a ribbon cable to the DSI port on the Raspberry Pi. We recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS for this to work correctly. Head over to the Raspberry Pi’s software section to get it.

• Features: 800 x 480 pixels, touchscreen
• Connection type: Ribbon cable, GPIO
• Price: $65-$100

Just as its name implies, the Sense HAT add-on is capable of sensing. What exactly? It’s equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer, temperature sensor, relative humidity sensor, 8 x 8 LED matrix display, and five-button joystick.

Simply attach it on top of the Raspberry Pi via the GPIO pins, and all its integrated circuit-based sensors can be used for various experiments. It’s even used in the European Astro Pi Challenge, which offers young people the opportunity to conduct scientific investigations in space.

• Features: Gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer, temperature and humidity sensors, LED matrix, buttons, joystick
• Connection type: GPIO
• Price: ~$35

The Automation HAT by Pimoroni is a great starting point for home monitoring and automation. Packed full of relays, analog channels, powered outputs, and buffered inputs, you can use this HAT to upgrade your Pi with a plethora of peripherals.

Also included are indicator LEDs, which means that with one look, you can tell what is happening in your build. There are also dimming LEDs on the analog channels that let you see the value they’re currently sensing! If you’ve ever wanted to build a time-saving automated project like feeding your pets or watering your garden, then this is the accessory for you.

• Features: Indicator LEDs, analog channels, powered outputs
• Connection type: GPIO
• Price: ~$45

It’s the official Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse! This ergonomic keyboard and mouse combo are in the Raspberry Pi official colors, red and white.

The keyboard has 79 keys and three in-built USB 2.0 Type-A ports for powering other peripherals.

With the mouse, there are three buttons including a scroll wheel. Both devices are connected via a USB Type-A connector.

Technically, any mouse or keyboard combination with a USB connection can work with a Raspberry Pi, so you could just use your current computer’s setup. However, having a dedicated mouse and keyboard for your Pi will come in handy for so many projects, and this set will show your Pi pride!

• Features: 79 keys, built-in USB 2.0, three-button mouse
• Connection type: USB Type-A
• Price: ~$32

The HighPi case measures 97 x 66 x 41mm externally. Internally, with a Pi inserted, there’s 90 x 60 x 28.8 mm of additional space, so it has ample room to house additional hardware like a HAT or heat sink. Installation or removal is quick and simple without any tools required. One snap action locks the Pi board into the case, and the second action secures it.

There are versions for a couple of different Pi boards, all of which are tall enough to host a wide range of add-on boards, yet slim enough to look cool. Finally, this case can also be wall-mounted horizontally with just two screws. Alternatively, with four screws it can be mounted in any orientation.

• Features: Protective enclosure, space for add-ons and HATs, snap-action lock, mountable
• Connection type: N/A
• Price: ~$18

While it’s the predecessor to the Raspbery Pi HQ camera we’ve already mentioned, the Raspberry Pi Camera V2 is still a popular option worth considering. If you’re looking for a camera for your Pi but don’t want to shell out too much money, then this could be it.

Within the module is a Sony IMX219 sensor, so this 8-megapixel camera can produce some decent images from a small form factor. You can also record videos up to 1080p at 30 frames per second, which should be good enough quality for most projects.

• Features: 8-megapixel camera, IMX219 sensor, 1080p video
• Connection type: CSI port, camera cable
• Price: ~$30

Want to turn your Raspberry Pi into a gaming device without any soldering involved? The Game HAT offers a plug-and-play solution. It’s one of the most convenient ways to turn your Pi into a portable retro gaming console.

In short, it’s a printed circuit board with speakers, buttons, and a 3.5″ IPS HDMI display (480 x 320) soldered onto it. It also has an analog stick and two shoulder buttons, which provide enough controls to play thousands of retro games on it. So, all you need to do is flash the image provided by Waveshare onto the SD card, then plug the Pi into the GPIO header.

It’s compatible with almost all Pi models, though the Zeros will need an extra HDMI cable. You’ll also need a 18650 battery. Turn on the power with a flick of a switch and start playing your favorite retro games on the go!

• Features: 3.5″ IPS display, analog sticks, shoulder buttons, gamepad buttons, on-board speakers
• Connection type: GPIO, HDMI
• Price: ~$50
