Will Any Wireless Keyboard Work with Android Box?
Contents

You can connect a USB or Bluetooth® keyboard and mouse to an Android TV™ device, however, operation isn’t guaranteed. We tested some keyboards and mice and found they were compatible, but not all functions were supported.

Do all wireless keyboards work with Android?

Some Android tablets can work with standard USB-connected devices like external keyboards and mice, but most tablets and phones can connect to keyboards and other input devices over a wireless Bluetooth connection.

Can a wireless keyboard work with any receiver?

No. A wireless mouse/keyboard does not use regular Wi-Fi (i.e. 802.11x) and can only bind with the receiver it came with. An exception may be the Logitech Unifying receiver, which allows connecting every Logitech device that supports it, to a single receiver – but still, it will take one USB port.
