BT Keyboard and mouse - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Just received my Bravia XBR-55A8G 4k OLED TV with Android TV. I'm already sick of using the on-screen keyboard. I tried an older BT mouse that I've used on my Android tablets and it pairs but the right and left buttons don't work even though the cursor shows up and moves around the screen.
My question is has anyone have a fully functional BT mouse or keyboard (or both) working with Android TV?
The TV is on Android 8.0
Thanks

I have a logitech kb/mouse that works fine with its USB receiver plugged into the TV. Same with a tiny hand-held Lenovo keyboard with built-in trackball. I have not tried any BT keyboards/mice that don't have their own USB receiver.

I ordered a Logitech K400 plus because I've found that this will work. I'll post back. Do you know the model number(s) of your KB and mouse just in case the K400 doesn't work?

I have an MK240 RF Wireless Combo, it was an import to the US, because I was looking for a small board and mouse.

FYI - The K400 works fine with Android TV. It has a touch-pad that works fine as a mouse. I'm happy now.

[Q] Bluetooth BT Keyboard and Mouse

I see that USB Host/OTG seems to work with USB keyboards and mice.
Is there a way to get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work?
I ask this because since the NG uses MHL, there is no way to power the device, use HDMI, AND use USB Host mode.
MHL does not provide for data use, just power.
I paired my Dinovo Mini and it just worked - keyboard input and mouse (a pointer appears).
That was one thing I never could get to work in Gingerbread.

Do you have access to an MHL adapter. I wonder if the cursor appears in HDMI mirror mode?

Logitech mouse PROBLEM

Guys, I have the mouse Logitech M125 and when I connect it to the Note(via otg) a problem occurs. In the notification bar it says "mouse connected" and the mouse itself is powered(the red thingy on the bottom shines).
HOWEVER, there is NO cursor on the screen. This doesn't happen with my Lenovo mouse.
Does anybody know how to fix that? Are all Logitech mice not working on the Note?
I'm having the same problem with Logitech MX revolution mouse. My note tries to pair with it and thats about it...
I have the same PROBLEM. but i test Microsoft Wireless mouse 4000 work well.
i have tried 3 logitech mouses and none of them worked. i tested 2 microsoft mouses and 1 a4tech and all of them worked.
Hi, I just bought Logitech's M555b & it works..
i use Logitech's G3 & it works..

Guys I found how to fix this!!! Just reboot your phone and connect the mouse right away. It should work. at least it did for me
Try it and let me know if it worked for you

I want to use screen keyboard with bluetooth mouse. What could I do?

What is the best Mouse/ keyboard to use with AFTV?

What is the best way to get mouse control on a AFTV? A few apps need a mouse. My AFTV is wired, so the apps on my mobile don't seem to work. Thanks.
Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 avail on Amazon.
I considered the Logitech, but am now Thinking something smaller (mini keyboard)​
I have a Logitech K700 for the GoogleTV. It works wonderfully, even in CWM.
I just bought a MeLe F10 Deluxe combo remote/keyboard/air-mouse and it's pretty fantastic. I had to do a bit of .kl editing to remap the home button to work, so root came in handy, but other than that the thing is great. I was able to program in all of the important buttons from my TV's IR remote so I was able to ditch that remote entirely. It even surprisingly works in CWM and Rbox's boot loader. Well worth $30.
I got an IPazzPort KP-810-16 5-in-1 (air mouse, back-lighted mini keyboard, learning IR remote). It works so well that I am considering buying their Bluetooth version (for my other FTV) so I don't have to plug a RF dongle in the USB of the FTV
How is the Mouse Controls with the MeLe F10 Deluxe Combo, is it done by moving the remote around in the air?
The IPazzPort KP-810 looks good and small. Is the keyboard not to small to use and hows the mouse control?

Yes, it's motion controlled like a wiimote. Right above the directional pad is the button for left mouse click. You click that button when you want to turn mouse mode on (which also turns the back button into right click), and then when you want to turn it off you can just press any of the directions on the D-pad. It works great if you only need a mouse here or there for navigating certain apps, but I wouldn't exactly try to play games with it. That said, my LG TV came with an airmouse remote when I bought it, and the airmouse on this is so much smoother and useable than that remote that it's not even funny. It works surprisingly well.
What about the Lenovo N5902, as anyone tried it with the Fire TV?
I have a mini bluetooth keyboard with touch screen and mouse button that I got from Amazon. It works well. It is a QQ-Tech model lS11-BT05. I first side loaded the settings app and used it to find the keyboard.
I've tried several wireless keyboard/pads (not all with the Fire TV). Though not perfect, the K400 is the best of the lot.

Keyboard is not too small, I think the size is good. I tried other wireless keyboard, either key presses are not registered or key presses got repeated. Those issues don't happen with the IPazzPort and that's why I said it is good. Air mouse control is good too, easy to use
Logitech k400 works great. Best choice imo.

Agreed, I have tried many also, k400 is the best, however, I also own
an old logitech revue, the keyboard for it is a k700 keyboard. It is the mac daddy of them all. it has directional and enter keys below the touchpad.
Here is a link to a picture of it. note the directional arrows below the touchpad. much nicer I am only posting this link so you can see a picture of what it is I'm refering to. not for sale or purchase reasons.

I retired my logitech revue after getting my aftv. Since the keyboard does not come with a usb dongle I just used a regular logitech usb nano receiver and used the software from logitech to link the two in windows. I then connected the nano reciever to the aftv where it is "The Best" keyboard in my opinion. If you don't have a dongle then just buy a logitech mouse at the store or order the nano receiver for $12 off amazon.
before you nay say me you better own own one. lol
I own several Logitech Revues. The keyboard is great. I thought it was IR, not Rf but I could be wrong. Good to know I will be able to reuse it. Do they sell them standalone and with bluetooth?

no bluetooth that i"m aware just wireless with usb nano receiver compatible. A logitech nano receiver can allow up to 8 logitech unity compatible devices. you just have to have your own and program it with the logitech unity software.

I wish I had more of these keyboards.
Sumvision Paradox Touch
Using one of these . nice keyboard with touch panel. The media keys also work (most) which is nice as the play button is enter. I don't usually like touchpads but in thus situation it's fine. I also have a generic. Acer branded off of my revo tested and working.
The Sum vision is Samsung compatible for your info. P
UPDATE just checked media buttons . all work in xbmc including volume. Stop play etc in youtube and the Home button most everywhere. I also would let you know it trips into standby quite quickly to save battery a quick press on connect wakes it up

Can one load a web browser on the FireTV if its rooted etc?
I'd be curious in getting a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.. But I'd also like to be able to use it as a web browser type of device?
Yes, I have chrome sideloaded on my AFS which is not rooted. Works well with a mini keyboard mouse TouchPad combo.

So what keyboard/mouse combo you have?

Tecknet BM306 bluetooth mouse pointer jumpy

I have just got a bluetooth mouse tecknet BM306 and it connects to my tablet OK, however the mouse pointer is jerky and jumpy, impossible to use. The buttons and the mouse wheel work fine.
I have tried the same mouse on my laptop and it works perfectly. It did install some drivers when it first connected. On the tablet however it does not install any drivers so am not sure if I would need some different/better bluetooth drivers for it.
Can anyone hep or shoudl I return it?
You cannot install drivers on an tablet, you are at the mercy of compatibility on Samsung`s wifi/bluetooth tranceiver does your mouse still jump around when the wifi is off, as wifi and bluetooth operate on the same frequency.
I have an Hama M2140 bluetooth mouse and it works great with my T800 with the wifi running at the same time and it is small an relatively cheap.
John.
Turning the wireless off had no effect.
I had another mouse (MEMTEQ) which worked OK until it died. This mouse is the replacement .
I will look to buy another mouse or maybe I can download a more recent bluetooth driver and install it? My tablet is rooted so I could do it if I had the necessary driver and instructions.
You cannot install a driver on an android tablet, you must be having some compatibility problem. Try another brand of mouse.
John
Yep I fully agree with Tinderbox its the mouse or the tablet one of them is not compatible
Thank you guys, I will buy (yet) another mouse. This will be number 3!
Logitech makes good gear.
John.
