Hi,
I have an old Logitech Precision Gamepad model G-UG15. I would like to use it with rooted Amazon Fire TV. When plugged in usb port, only up down left right buttons are working, button 1-10 are not responding. Can someone help me map it with Fire TV?
Thanks,
Richard

I've seen posts about FLIRC and some other IR recivers (like from a Ortek Win MCE remote)...
Has anyone tried the old Nyko BluWave IR Remote For PS3 with a Fire TV? Does it work? Or at least its IR reciver with a harmony remote?
Other than connecting it and pressing buttons is there any way to test?

I just set up my Amazon Fire TV this past weekend. Unfortunately, the Nyko BluWave IR remote for PS3 does not work. I plugged it into the USB port on my Fire TV and went into settings - the dongle does not even show up as a connected device. I also mashed some of the buttons on the remote itself to see if anything would happen. Unfortunately, nothing happened when I tried any of the buttons for the Nyko.
I actually got a chance to try it with mine (found it in a box in the basement that wasn't unpacked since we moved)
Pressing the directional parts of the ring, and center worked for me, but nothing else.

read this a few weeks ago and just found the dongle for mine in drawer. the only buttons that worked for me were the directional buttons . the center button did not work. maybe my button is broken. or perhaps I'm on a different firmware version. if it mimics the buttons of a playstation controller perhaps they can be remapped? not sure how to go about doing that.
I also found a generic usb to infarad adapter.
I plugged it into the firetv and when I use certain remotes the receiving light on the device lights up.
Hi,
I tried plugging in a wired, USB mouse in the back of my Fire TV Box... I get nothing on screen. I tried a second mouse.. same result. Does the Fire Tv NOT support a mouse? I searched around online and found conflicting info. The only reason I wanted to use the mouse is to click the big "Start Test" button at the center of the screen in the Speedtest.net app I sideloaded... It can't be reached via the remote.
Thanks!

Well u can look for aft general tread download download an apk call wukong remote launch the app, it will search for aft in address that's what working for me
My firetv recognized my mouse with no special settings. I just plugged the mouse directly into the USB slot... same for a USB keyboard.
Mouse = old Gateway mouse
Keyboard = cheap Dynex
Did you happen to be on the default launcher when you tried? Since the last three updates the mouse cursor is invisible on the Fire TV launcher, when system menus are on the screen and inside some native Fire TV apps. I don't think the cursor being invisible effects everyone, cause only a few people said they experience the problem when I made a thread about it.It only happens if I use a USB or Bluetooth mouse, but if I use a remote mouse app like Wukong the cursor is visible on the whole system. Try opening an app that was not made for the Fire TV, like Kodi and see if it works, cause my cursor is visible inside all my apps, but if I go to the Fire Launcher it becomes invisible. Its kind of annoying not being able to see the cursor on Fire TV apps, but I have gotten used to it.
To be clear, the mouse still works its just invisible, so its kinda useless because you can't click on system menus, cause you cannot see where the cursor is. As soon as you open an app like Kodi the cursor will reappear.
Thnks everyone for the replies. I had USB debugging turned on in the developer options which knocked out my mouse. Everything is working now.
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.
Hi,
I have 2nd gen Fire TV stick non-4K. I have configured the correct inputs for cable and Fire TV, in the Fire TV settings. HDMI-CEC is enabled as well.
Speaking "Alexa, switch inputs" seems to work fine.
However, I want my TV to change to correct input automatically when I press the home button on the fire TV stick remote.
How to get this to work?
Are you using launcherhijack?

I am running stock launcher, unrooted as well.
I always have to long press home then home again to get it to switch to the right input through cec
I found the reason for this issue. It turns out Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC on Samsung) does not connect to firetv, if I have my cable HDMI also plugged into the TV.
Removing the cable HDMI, and just having firetv stick plugged into the TV, makes HDMI-CEC work fine.
With Anynet+ functioning, I am able to change inputs correctly by pressing Home button + Back button on the fire TV stick remote.
I still don't know how to make Anynet+ work with my cable plugged in.
Hi,
I have TCL C716 Qled 50" Tv. I wish to connect Air mouse remote control and for that I have bought three different devices. 1- Mini keyboard with touchpad, 2- C-120 Air mouse remote control and 3- MX3 Air mouse remote control. But I am facing the same problem with all three. Whenever I insert the USB dongles of each device it works for some time until the device goes into stand by or sleep and this shuts off my Tv. After a few tries the Tv gets stuck and I have to remove the USB dongle after which the Tv works fine. Is there any solution to this? Kindly inform.
