those of us who are familiar with these, arealso very familiar with these little bad boys. although fully functional and ok when tabbingand scrolling through menu options, it is painfully slow when using it in mouse mode.fortunately, there are alternatives. three options are the wireless mouse, the air mouse,and the wireless keyboard. the wireless mouse is a significant improvement over the basiccontroller. it allows for a wide range of
Android TV keyboard, fast, free movement, and the wheel allowsfor quick channel access. however, like any other mouse, it does require a flat surface,and accessing certain menu options can be a challenge when you're not used to it. theair mouse is very similar to the wireless mouse except that it is controlled by wavingit through the air. they very often support
the tabbing function and don't require a flatsurface to operate. they don't have a wheel for scrolling and if you don't have a steadyhand when operating in mouse mode, it can be a bit of a challenge. the air mouse canbe very basic, or have a full, functioning keyboard as the one shown here. the wirelesskeyboard integrates the best of all functionality. most units designed for the android box incorporatea trackpad. this allows for very quick and easy mouse control, and the keyboard allowsfor entering search data while using the box for streaming or for surfing the web. thekeyboard very often integrates other functions
as well. the one shown here is a fairly popularand includes media controls and a series of shortcut keys that can be used for both androidbox and web navigation. please be aware that
although i have only shown you wireless devices,any usb keyboard or mouse, wired or wireless, may be used with the android box.
