kencol to kunjoosewala

4 Feb 16 3 #16

I bought these on Amazon for the kids to use on their Pi Zeros, they work fine. The ones I bought came with a battery which can be charged via the mini usb port on the keyboard, I paid more than the £5 odd, but would definitely buy the model with the rechargeable battery for a couple of quid more.

jscutt to kunjoosewala

5 Feb 16 #63

Yep, no problem been using one on rpi2b for a while on KODI, straight plug and play. Battery last for ages on these things, would highly recommend.

Yes pretty good.
Though when mine broke after several months, I found out I can do everything with my Sony TV remote, just a slower.

I paid about £12 for this (well a Rii mini i8+), it does the job. 2 issues I have with it is the noise and the lack of Windows 10 support ( the touch pad clicking doesn't appear to work for me - although it could be me!)

does that just control kodi or will it control everything on an android box?

Looks like the same ones I've bought on Amazon for around £10.
The device is brilliant & I use them with Kodi boxes.
They don't go out of range over 12 feet lol.
The battery also lasts for months before needing charged again.

Just read it again & it looks like this one comes without the battery :-/

Would this work with an Amazon Fire TV Stick?

These won' t work with the stick because they work with a little usb plug and the amazon stick does not have a usb port.

No it won't work, you need a Bluetooth mouse / keyboard I use this one on my fire TV stick http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B018I3KBTK/ref=cm_cr_pr_btm_link_9?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=9 I left a review of it on the 6th January.

No you need a BT one & then when you do you will need to sideload the settings app. BT keyboards can be had for 10 quid or so.

Not sure if it's been said already. But I think this is the older version. The newer version has a backlight for the keys, more expensive but worth it.

If using for Kodi, I find the app for iOS works just as well, plus you can see playlist on the phone

gtd65

4 Feb 16 #35

I've used one of these (white one) at a mates house and never been impressed with it.

He also struggles with it.

I'd spend a bit more and buy a Logitech K400 or similar grade keyboard/touchpad combo.

That said, this is a very decent price for this type of device.

gtd65

4 Feb 16 #36

Never been impressed with this type of controller for Android TV sticks etc.

From my experience I'd rather pay a bit more for the Logitech K400/K400 Plus keyboard and touchpad.

Luckily I bought my two in the USA for US$10 for the K400 and US$20 for the K400 Plus but the UK pricing seems quite a bit higher unless you can get this tax free?

You connect these to your device of choice by bluetooth. You only need the USB cable for charging. I've not got a firestick, but a quick google suggests you can pair bluetooth keyboards with them.

C-Fax

4 Feb 16 #46

When it says

"Power supply: 1.5V 3A battery 2 (Optional 400mA/800mA lithium battery)(Not included)"

Is it not saying that the optional bigger capacity battery (400/800) is not included?

Further up in the spec it states

"Removable lithium battery, super long standby"

I've never seen one of these not come with a battery, and none of the reviews mention it lacking one.

EDIT: Ah, I can see the space for the 2 AAA batteries in the photo.

4 Feb 16 #48

i know i may be asking the obvious since description suggests so, but will these work on a shield TV (android tv) and/or on a win10 tablet with the receiver plugged in ? (micro usb to normal usb hub on the tablet). my shield seems a bit finniky if i have more than 1 input device plugged in (won't work with my ps3 controller and a 3rd party pc/ps3 controller plugged in together, it's either/or) so will i have to opt for the bluetooth version ?

might take a punt on the amazon one anyway, worst that happens is i have to send it back.

It's great, works on my Xbox, my phone/tablet vie the USB OTG cable and my PC from far away. Very handy and feels great. Also the buttons feel a little bit like popping bubblewrap. A good way to while away the hours.

I got similar to this for PC (Rii ??)and it works great. In fact for many tasks I prefer it to a K400R, they are both suitable for different things. rechargeable battery lasts and last too. RH touchpad is better version IMO.

I've got one and I'm happy enough with it but downloaded the Kodi remote app for iOS and prefer that. My arsenal of remotes are increasing by the week and I've hardly got any room to plonk my council gritter on the settee these days.

rob1990

Had one of these for an old android box. Quite unresponsive at times and would keep repeating a key press as if you'd kept your finger on the button. Kodi iOS/android app was a much better option and free

gavzter

5 Feb 16 1 #67

wouldn't recommend - the touch pad is horrendous on these.
Let's face it you're buying it for the mouse more than the keyboard.

And charges via mini usb as opposed to micro which is an odd choice

Dougal1709

5 Feb 16 #68

I have a similar one. It's ok but doesn't seem to have the ability to actually turn on an Android box which means you still need to use the original controller.

I mainly use the MK808 series so can really only turn off the device, unless I'm missing something? I've got an MXQ Box that comes with a remote but I use the Logitech with it anyway. I tend to just leave the TV sticks running 24/7 unless I need to reboot but just used a reboot app for that.

In the specs says that batteries aren't included, and for what I can see in the pictures there is a gap for normal AA (or AAA) bateries and another for litium batteries. Anyone knows which litium batteries this keyboard uses? Wouldn't buy this one if I need to spend another 5£ in a battery...

Why would lithium ion battery version be better? If it dies, you throw the whole thing away? If charge has depleted, then you cannot use, unlike standard battery ones? Am I missing anything?

Fatboy40

5 Feb 16 #85

Cold... not back lit and doubt it will have keys printed with UK keyboard characters (e.g. £). Pay the extra and purchase an eSYNIC from Amazon (however this is still pretty much a generic one from Shenzen with 'branding' on it).

do yourself a favour & pay a bit more for one already in the UK from Amazon or Ebay, etc
1) you wont have to wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.
2) its easier to get replaced when it arrives faulty.

I bought one of these from Ebay, exact same thing. It's great, however the model I bought did not come with a rechargable battery. Big mistake for buying that, as the batteries don't last very long.

5 Feb 16 #94

Rii i8+ with built in bluetooth and backlight £16.99 on Amazon much better than this and I got my order on free postage delivered two days after ordering not on prime.

It's battery is covered and I can't see how to change it but it's lasted well so far and nice size keys.

I'd say stick to Rii and buy from in the UK battery safety is important.

I bought one of these for around £11 from Amazon. Then bought another Rii one via ebay (possibly from China) for around £6. Tried & worked on: LG smartTV, Raspberry Pi, Windows PC & XboxOne.

Price is good, but not outstanding. I'd still recommend getting one as it's handy for the odd bit of typing/navigation.

I've got my eye on an Android TV box that my friend recommended. He says he can stream virtually any film he searches for using the pre-installed app which I think is called KODI. For those interested: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIDUBUY-Amlogic-Bluetooth-Streaming-Android/dp/B0151XQYGY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1454686142&sr=1-1&keywords=didubuy+m8s

...and this keyboard would seem to be the perfect partner, although I think I'll hunt out the new backlit version.

I suppose it would be useful for my PS3 too.

JUSTANOTHERSTAR

5 Feb 16 #100

I got the white one a couple of days ago on prime, works fine with the Android tv box.

sohighicantouchthesky

5 Feb 16 1 #101

Kodi is great for handling your media collection - so films you have on an external harddrive, music, youtube etc but in order to 'stream virtually any film he searches for' he'll be using 10-a-penny plug-in's for Kodi which are trash.
The reason being is that they simply link to streaming websites online, and you have to jump through a ton of hoops to actually find a legitimate stream that wont go 'blocky' or stop playing mid-way through. No doubt he'll be using something like 'Genesis' or 'Phoenix', using a custom Kodi build like 'The Wizard' which comes pre-loaded with loads of crap that you actually don't need.

It's entirely your shout as to how you use it etc, but don't think it'll be a one-stop-movie-shop because you'll be plagued with issues.

Now, if you are downloading torrents in 720/1080p (blu-rays, web-dl's etc) then you'll benefit from fantastic quality and no issue of trying to stream sources that get pulled usually with 24hrs of going live because you'll be storing them locally on a hard-drive ...

By all means get the box but don't bother with the streams. Download your content instead.

5 Feb 16 #102

I bought the White one from Aliexpress. Delivery was around 2 weeks.

Make sure it can take AA batteries as some don't and will only work with their own battery pack. Which could be a problem when the battery pack dies. At least with AA you can get replacements.

I use it with my Android TV Box (an M8S for £32) also bought from Aliexpress. It works a treat and saves you getting arthiritis when needing to type something. The mouse pad takes a bit of getting used to but it works great once you get the hang of it.

Those sceptical about buying from Aliexpress... Before and during xmas i place about 30 different orders, most with different sellers and every single one of them arrived. Nothing got held up in customs and nothing got lost in transit. Admittedly some took almost 4 weeks but understandable given the 11.11 sales and xmas period. and all the items were as described and worked great. We had a really cheap xmas.

5 Feb 16 #103

It will take AA batteries if you can see the coils in the picture of the battery compartment. If it doesn't then it won't and you'll have to use the battery pack. This is the one i got...

Got this, use it for the shield. Good little remote - nightmare for nighttime watching though as can't see letters.

These keyboards are excellent, in fact I'm typing on one now through my laptop ( wine killed original keyboard ), also use it on my Kodi. However I didn't pay much more last year on eBay and it came with a battery delivered in 2 days.
I will be voting cold.

Waste of £5.88 if you ask me. I had this exact one from amazon. Touchpad is absolutely awful. Some keys died within a few weeks. Whole thing had had it within a couple of months. I am done with bargin basement Chinese electronics.

I went through a long spell of getting the cheapest thing I could find that would do the job thinking a pound saved is a pound earnt, that can then also earn interest too. But I found myself having horrible user experiences, hating the quality, and replacing faulty equipment very often.

I got this with one of the TV box bundle deals on here. Easy to use but sometimes find the trackpad to be unresponsive. Still an excellent bit of kit to have

Don't be 100% put off the boxes, just don't be dragged in by the thought of being able to stream all the movies you want, pay per view etc because for all the hassle of finding a decent stream it really isn't worth the effort!

I'll reply to your PM in abit mate ☺️

Grab a box with both Windows and Android capability - the Pipo X9 or similar

I have an X8, same as X9 but slighly smaller screen. It struggles with x265 content, whereas my S805 & S812-based Android boxes handle x265 without issue. Often need to match tech spec to real-world requirements.

after a few weeks this started developing annoying behavior in where it will lose connection after you either turn the remote off or let it "sleep"and it didn't reestablish the connection when turned back on/wake up unless you plug out/in the usb dongle a few times. Might be due to living in block of flats and too many people using wireless devices. Also if it is close to the babymonitor the babymonitor loses signal

I haven't tried any x265 content, but i did wonder ... I'll stay away from it in that case. To be honest there is no need for me to look to that codec anyway as storage space isn't an issue.
Thanks for the info.

I've got this, or at least the official version, came with my Sumvision Cyclone 4 box. Works well except some of the actual functions don't match with what's printed on the buttons.

Would that be the " and @ by any chance? Change your configuration from US keyboard to UK.

Is anyone else concerned about the health effects caused by these and other wireless devices in our environments?

Not at all... If anything we need a reaction to our physical health in the form of a larger head to deal with all this showing off with the fancy gadgets.

Bought the Esynic backlit version on Amazon but seems quite unresponsive when over 2m away, have to actually point it right at the box. Battery is definitely charged not sure if this is normal?

I think OP refers to the EE power bar incidents, so are the Chinese zagways .....if you have ever heard of the news recently.

Remember that with these devices you have a "Reset" option on the device.
Nothing on the Net about that :-/

why's this gone mega hot with all the problems reported? Plus its snide, takes weeksto deliver, and you could get import tax. Look on amazon, there's one for £7.99
