Everything you need!
Amazing item. You get everything you need to get up & running in no time. Even the case for the pi is simple to assemble with no hardware needed (just snap together)I also bought an argon case for my pi but it was doa however with the 3 heat sinks & case fan that come with this kit it is more then adequate for keeping the pi cool. I've even over clocked my pi for using retropie (I don't recommend unless you know what you're doing) and I still haven't run into any issues overheating.So my advice is don't waste money on a case that claims to cool the device better. It may cool it better but the stock case is sufficient enough.

excellent kit
I bought it in September 2021, and I would buy it again. It has all the necessary accessories to get started right the way. The included manual is packed with useful information. The fan looks like a toy but performs really well, even at the low speed. The PiSwitch is very useful. Customer service is friendly and well-informed.

Great kit for getting started with the Raspberry Pi
I purchased this kit a couple of months ago when I was looking into getting a Pi for various coding projects. Anyone into programming should probably have a Pi lying around. They are amazing little machines that can be used for so many purposes.The kit includes everything I needed except for a monitor and internet access. The keyboard and mouse have a very nice feel to them, and the case has a sleek look. As Pi 4's generally run hot, the added heat sinks and fan keep my machine around 50 degrees Celsius, which is perfect.I would say that the main reason you should purchase this is if you do not already have all of the peripherals. If you do have a mouse, keyboard, HDMI cables, micro SD cards, etc., then I recommend that you just by the Pi 4 all by itself.(Note that it will not mount vertically as shown in my photos out-of-the-box. I simply slapped a double-sided Command strip to the back -- this did not hinder the airflow of the case at all!)

Easy to get operational
It took me approximately 5 minutes to unbox and assemble the Desktop System. Once assembled, I powered it up and logged onto my network using the keyboard and mouse and the OS installation started. As soon as the installation was completed and I was ready to go to the next step, the system became unresponsive to both the keyboard and the mouse. I immediately assumed that I had a bas install of Raspbian OS, so I reformatted the SD card and reinstalled NOOBS. When I tried to log onto my network, the system did not respond to the keyboard or the mouse. I tried moving the keyboard/mouse to another USB port and no change. I then unplugged the mouse from the keyboard and plugged it into a USB port and the mouse worked but the keyboard did not work. I changed the USB cable and the keyboard still did network. I then tried a different USB keyboard and that keyboard did not work. Once I had a keyboard/mouse combo that worked, I got the system up and running. I notified CanaKit immediately (it was Sunday) and I received a response today, Monday about 1:30 pm notifying me the needed my Order Number and they would issue an order to replace the defective keyboard.Yes, I will buy another CanaKit as the product is everything I imagined ir would be, but much easier to get operational than I expected, and I have found CanaKit to be a good vendor.

Perfect for use as a headless pi-hole server
I am new to raspberry pi form factor though long time user/programmer of unix in many flavors. I bought this to run as a pi-hole server to sink hole dns queries from trackers (pi-hole is an open source network wide ad and tracker blocker for your home or office). Its perfect for the job - easy to setup, runs cools and runs headless in an equipment closet off a ups. Its perfect for this kind of single purpose set it and forget it applications. I can always ssh or web browse to it to maintain it as needed. Much better solution than a higher maintenance dedicated windows or mac mini box. Its so cost efficient you can afford two for redundancy.

Great Pi 4 Starter Pack for all levels
Very nice Pi 4 starter kit. Everything included works perfect, no issues. Obviously the Pi 4 is much faster compared to my Pi 3 B+. This kit makes the whole set up complete by having an official Rasp Pi keyboard and mouse. Color combo is aesthetically pleasing. Microsd card flashed the rasp pi os with no issues. Very nice all-in-one starter pack. Great for new and veteran Pi users.Suggestion:- Create a black & red theme starter kit. (Black case w/red line , black & red keyboard/mouse)

Great kit - has everything you need to get up and running
This is a great kit...has everything you need to assemble and start-up your Raspberry Pi 4 outside of a monitor. Only thing that wasn't clear was the direction to mount the fan inside the lid of the case. But overall, it is simple to switch around if it isn't correct. For a newb to Raspberry Pi devices, I wasn't alienated by anything in this kit or in the set-up of the device. If you have every tinkered with a PC and/or installed Windows or macOS on a computer, you got this.

Buyer beware! Keyboard is NOT the 400!
I bought this cause I liked the micro SD card slot on the keyboard. The one in this kit ONLY has 3 USB and one micro USB connectors slots. While they call this the "official" Rpi keyboard, there is the 400 "official" series keyboard with a lot more features on it, including micro SD card slot. Kinda feel a little duped!
