    Hi Lauren,

     

    Generally yes, they will work.

    However, until someone tests them, there can be no 100% guarantee. But USB is a standard, and with popular devices the drivers should exist on the new Pi 3, so it is not unreasonable to assume that yes they will work.

    Nothing is guaranteed with software, bugs may exist but usually for popular devices the bugs get resolved.

     

    There may be a small exception of products (particularly 'raspberry pi hats') that won't have been tested yet, and they might not work immediately, until people have tweaked the code a bit.
