raspberry pi zero keyboard and mouse not working
August 21, 2023, 07:50
i recently bought a raspberry pi zero and my keyboard nor mouse works with it, making it useless until i figure out why. I tested all of these products and they all work fine but there is simply no input to the raspberry pi zero. great if you can help if not i understand
The reason is that the current of the USB on the Pi is not sufficient for keyboard and/or mouse.
So either get a USB hub with power supply or download the Raspberry Pi imager and set user, password and WiFi connection so you can connect to the Pi via ssh.

I can confirm that there is enough power as the usb adapter lights up but it doesnāt seem to be sending any signal from the mouse or keyboard
Could the micro usb to female usb be unable to convey info?
So you don't have a USB hub, just a OTG cable? Please describe your setup in more details, what keyboard, mouse and connected?
Yes I have an OTG cable to a USB hub which is unpowered,
plugged into the USB hub is and old original dell keyboard and a Bluetooth Logitech mouse with a receiver.
I have also tried only using the OTG cable with both the mouse and keyboard individually.
Also I got this error message when booting the pi if this helps
Add the line:
options usbcore use_both_schemes=yTo:
/etc/modprobe.d/optionsAnd reboot
By the way, do you also get this error ?
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
Also no I did not get that error.
ssh?
I havenāt gotten that to work yet Iāve done many tutorials over the past couple of days but once it asks for the user āpiā and password āraspberryā and it simply does not work as it gets denied.
its a file you need to create
