Raspberry Pi launches keyboard and mouse

The Raspberry Pi team has released a keyboard and mouse designed for use with its Raspberry Pi computer.

The three-button optical Raspberry Pi mouse includes a USB type-A connector and uses Omron switches to "give the click the best quality feel".

A pi-keyboard (a pi built into a keyboard) might a fun idea.

Won't any keyboard/mouse with usb type-A work? What is the point of this?

Those are cute. To name a few the keyboard is small, the same colour scheme and have cool features like a built in USB hub, short mouse cord so you don't need to keep it tied up. Depends on local price though.

Yep any will work. I suppose this is just an added revenue stream, sold as optional extras.
