A note about this page: For USB devices, please specify if they required a powered hub
19-Apr-2012: Now that the Model B board is shipping, details added should relate to this board and the
unless stated otherwise. A suggested suffix markup scheme is as follows:
(A) - Relates to model A production board
(B) - Relates to model B production board
(!) - Information from alpha and beta board days -- beta board verified peripherals should still apply to production boards for the most part, but the alpha board is fairly different
No markup - relates to all production boards
If you are adding to a product list it would help clarity if entries are kept/added in alphabetical order.
Warning: Adding peripherals may increase the loading on the power supply to your board and this, in turn, may affect the voltage presented to the Raspberry Pi. If the Raspberry Pi's supply voltage falls below a certain value (anecdotally stated as around 4.75 V), or it begins to fluctuate, your setup may become unstable. There is a
which is worth a read.
Model B Hardware Revisions and USB Power limits
Hardware Revision 1.0
The original Model B board had current limiting polyfuses which limited the power output of each USB port to approximately 100 mA. USB devices using more than 100 mA had to be connected via a powered hub. The Raspberry Pi's PSU was chosen with a power budget of 700 mA of which 200 mA were assigned to the USB ports, so the Raspberry Pi's (poly)fuses were designed only for devices up to 100 mA, and typical 140 mA polyfuses will have as much as 0.6 volt across them when drawing currents near the 100 mA limit. As a consequence the USB ports are only directly suitable for "single current unit" USB devices which, according to USB specifications, are designed to work with just 4.4 Volt. Not only do non single current unit devices draw more current (causing greater Voltage drops, and greater stress on the fuses), they also might require 4.75 Volt to work.
Model B Hardware Revision 2.0 and Revision 1.0 with ECN0001 change
This had the polyfuses removed, removing the 100 mA current limitation for each USB port (but leaving the main fuse F3 intact). Users should still ensure their power supply can power the Raspberry Pi and the USB peripherals. Revision 2.0 was released in August 2012.
Warning: Because the polyfuses have been removed, back feeding of the PI, by applying power via its normal USB output, can damage D 17 if triggered by an over-voltage, and so lead to consequential over-heating. This can be discovered by melts, scorching, smoke or worse.
Shortly after the Raspberry Pi was released it was confirmed that there were a number of issues with the Linux USB driver for the SMSC95xx chip. These included problems with USB 1.x peripherals that use split transactions, a fixed number of channels (causing problems with Kinect) and the way the ARM processor handles the SMSC95xx interrupts.
A large number of fixes were included in the -Wheezy-raspbian Linux image.
A number of low-cost powered USB hubs are known to have caused problems. Members of the Raspberry Pi forums have reported low power or no power at all in some cases. The following is a list of specific Powered USB Hubs which appear to be fault-free. Please note that these do not take into account powering the Raspberry Pi from the hub, in addition to its peripherals.
If you use a powered hub and the Raspberry Pi PSU together consider powering them from the same power bar with switch, so you can turn them on simultaneously., especially if the HUB tries to feed the Raspberry Pi through their interconnect cable, due to the 100 mA limiting fuse in the Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi will be partially powered which may cause problems (unwanted writes to the SD card).

NOTE! It is bus-powered hub, but it is very cheap and small and works after a small modding: on USB-hub board you have 4 holes: V, D+, D- and GND. Connect GND, D+ and D- to the Raspberry Pi, and additionally connect GND and +5 V from power supply to the same holes on USB-hub GND and V. Now there is common contacts: GND, D+ and D- between Raspberry Pi and hub needed to work, and additional power for USB devices, connected to the hub. Tested on my Raspberry Pi.

4-Port USB Hub, no special designator. Chip inside is a GL850G, lsusb identification is 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB. The hub comes with a 5V 2A PSU that is quite capable of powering the Raspberry Pi and additional peripherals. I did not test whether the hub feeds power into the uplink USB port. The problem with this hub is that USB sticks connected to it reliably disconnect after a short time of writing to them (via cat /dev/zero & /dev/&stick&). Sometimes they reconnect with a different device, sometimes they do not. The only error messages in the logs are plain vanilla USB device disconnects. While this may look like a power-issue, measurements with a digital oscilloscope found absolutely no problem. Another observation I have made is that sometimes (not always), the data-transfer rates to the USB sticks slow down to about 500kB/s. I suspect this is a problem with the USB driver that does not manage to work around some brokeness in the hub chip. The hub has no current-limiter at all and plugging in some peripherals will hard crash your Raspberry Pi, something I do not observe with better hubs.

When/if it happens again, unplugging and reinserting the USB dongle brings it back to normal.

Periduo-707 Plus (Wireless Keyboard and Mouse) works fine most of the time. Does suffer from dropouts and glitches though. Usual "drawing too much power from USB" problems show up as well - dropped key presses or constant autorepeats. These can be cured by pulling out and reinserting the dongle in the USB socket. The keyboard sometimes hangs after power on when used with my laptop - it seems to need 30 seconds of non-use before it works fine. Again, remove and insert the dongle cures it. Works fine vi my Benq monitor's USB Hub.

Note that generally PS/2 keyboards with an USB adapter will not work directly on a Raspberry Pi port, due to the fact that PS/2 keyboards are designed for normal 5 V +-5% range, while USB keyboards must be designed to work with 4.4 Volt, and generally USB devices on the Raspberry Pi may receive less than 4.75 Volt. PS/2 + USB adapter keyboards might work behind a powered hub, which does provide the full 5.0 V. Some of these keyboards work when running the latest Raspbian, but not when using the overclocked XBMC version of Raspbmc, probably due to the overclocking drawing more power away from the rest of the support system devices.

The following is a list of specific mouse devices that have problems working with the Raspberry Pi
Model G7-630 Wireless Mouse, 20 mA. Part of wireless keyboard/mouse bundle GL-6630 (GL-6 + G7-630 + RN-10B) - suffers from USB flakeyness. Even on a powered hub. No problems on other computers I have tested it with.
HP Retractable Mobile Mouse (Optical) HP Product Number XP472AA - errors / boot loop RASPBMC (B)removed mouse, started with no further errors.
Logik IMF Blue Trace Wired USB mouse (Model LMWBLU11) - disconnects from the USB port every 20 seconds when using the Raspian distro. Always reconnects to the USB port successfully (B)
Logitech G400 Gaming Mouse - 100% CPU load and laggy mouse cursor when the mouse is moved. MX518 works fine on the same setup, so I suspect it's a polling rate issue.
says the mouse is ;Hz out of the box, whereas the 518 is only 125 Hz. Solution found: add usbhid.mousepoll=8 to the kernel commandline.
Logitech G5 is working, high CPU Load, solution add: usbhid.mousepoll=8 to kernel cmdline.txt in /boot
Microsoft Touch Mouse - Does not see right clicks, Only left.
Microsoft Sidewinder X8 - Uses far too much power, if it works then only for a short time!.
Naga Wired USB mouse - the mouse seems to present itself as a keyboard because the numpad on the left-hand side of the device works, but the cursor doesn't move.
Mamba (wired) and Imperator - slow and unreliable reaction to mouse clicks, loosing focus
Kone[+] Wired USB mouse - Nothing happens when moving the mouse, haven't looked further into the issue (B)
Optical USB Mouse MI-2250 - Nothing happens when moving the mouse (B)
Multimedia Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Set (Mouse Model: HM-3301) (B) - frequent lost connection giving stuttering mouse cursor indicating USB current not enough for dongle
Cymbet CBC-EVAL-06 USB Real Time Clock (FT2232 to SPI to RV-2123)

There are 2 "com ports"( /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 ) . Tested with Network Manager.Works also perfectly with SAKYS3G
(!! led is always off !!) and wvdial. A working wvdial.conf:
. (for example for Vodafone IT , replace Init3 with this:
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.omnitel.it"
and replace line Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
with Modem = /dev/ttyACM1 )
and run with

Sierra Wireless 307 Works fine with Sakis3G script. The connection LED does not change its state after establishing a connection but the same behavior on a normal linux system.
You will usually want the alsa package for sound. In the Debian image for Raspberry Pi (and possibly other distributions) USB sound cards are prevented from loading as the first sound card, which can be an annoyance if it's the only device you have. To disable this behaviour edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and comme options snd-usb-audio index=-2 . If you are not user pi you may need to add your username to the audio group thus: sudo adduser yourusername audio (user pi usually belongs to this group anyway).
. Tested with low-cost headphone/microphone set via audacity (See notes at ).
(aka ) - playback works fine, Recording stutters unless dwc_otg.speed=1 is set
(stereo works with ALSA, have not tried 7.1 Surround Sound)
NuForce uDAC-2
Plantronics
(works with ALSA) (shows up in lsusb as 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter)
(not with USB add dwc_otg.speed=1 to /boot/cmdline.txt, but that will slow down all USB transfers)
Texas Instruments PCM2704
Any USB1.1 audio interface that is class compliant should work with Linux, same goes for USB2.0 interfaces that adhere to the current USB audio standards. There are some interfaces that are supported in Linux while they do not comply to the standards because specific quirks have been added to the USB Linux drivers. To verify if your interface is supported search for a manual of your interface and check if it needs drivers to run under Windows/Mac. If the manual explicitely mentions no drivers are needed the interface is almost surely a class compliant device. When in doubt check the aforementioned databases.
If you encounter problems setting up your USB soundcard check the RPi Wiki article in the linuxaudio.org Wiki:
