  lizby said  I thought the Raspberry Pi Foundation had asserted that the Pico was 5V tolerant (but not much more than 5V).

Not as I understand it. All designs by matherp and Mixte90 and Silicon Chip use a level shifter. Even if they are 5v tolerant, the keyboard expects 5v logic signals, 3.3v may be a bit marginal for my like.

Leo, you need something like this if one didn't come with your keyboard.
