Hi,
I have Rapoo E9070 bluetooth keyboard, it has usb dongle and works with PC flawlessly, but my android phone can't discover it over bluetooth.
I suspect it is something with that dongle, that keyboard is only paired with that dongle and won't allow pairing with other devices.
is there any way to force pair it with android? without using OTG cable?

First of all, there has been a well-known issue that if you use a Bluetooth Keyboard and a Bluetooth Mouse AND have Wifi ON, there is a radio interference such that either the keyboard and/or mouse lags heavily.
This has been an issue since 4.2, whether it's a Nexus or Note or other tablet. Google never fixed it, or have no interest in fixing it since it was even documented in Google's forums.
So I am switching to:
- Bluetooth Keyboard (Logitech K810)
- Non-Bluetooth wireless mouse, connected via OTG cable
Unfortunately, ALL Logitech mouse I have (Anywhere MX, M510, M705, M325) does NOT work with my N7 and USB OTG. The ONLY one that works is with WIRED mouse.
Thus, does anyone have recommendation on non-Bluetooth wireless mouse that works with USB OTG?
Hello everyone. I just recently purchased a fire tv an a Logitech K400 keyboard because I seen it was working for others. I cannot get this stinking keyboard to work with firetv. I've plugged the dongle in and was also looking to see if there is any type of app I need to side load to get it to work. I'm still new to all of this so please be gentle. Thank you for your responses.
Well that's a shame.
Is yours actually just a K400 or is it a K400r?
My K400r works just fine on my Fire TV.
My k400 worked perfect right out of the box, installed batteries, switched on and plugged in dongle. Now I even use a 4 port usb for my ext hard drive and the dongle still works perfect. I hope you figure it out. Test it on a lap top.
Have you plugged the dongle into a PC or Mac to test it is actually paired? Was the k400 new or refurbished? I've bought refurbs that weren't paired out of the box. If so, on a PC you can download and install the Unifying app from Logitech to pair the keyboard to it.

Sounds like a bad one. Mine works fine. It's a pretty plug 'n play no-brainer install. Mine is plugged into a four-port un-powered hub.

Troubleshooting
Touch Keyboard not working?
• Check to see you remove the battery tabs.
• Restart the keyboard by turning it off and then back on.
• Check if you have connected the Unifying receiver.
• Move the Unifying receiver to another USB port on your computer. (Try plugging the receiver directly into the computer instead of a USB hub.)
• Use the USB Range Extender for a stronger signal.
• Check the battery orientation. Replace the AA batteries.
• Some Function keys are for Windows® 8 usage, use Logitech SetPoint software to map these keys to other functions.
Receiver remembers
I lost my original unifying receiver, to get the new one to work I had to first pair it on a computer with the unifying software, then plugged it into the fire tv it worked!

What kind of app do I need for controlling a tablet with FireTV via my K400r keyboard?
There must be some kind of app with bluetooth communication that can make my FireTV hooked K400r keyboard act as the physical keyboard for the tablet.
The only USB is a micro one,while the keyboard only works with mini USB and normal USB via adapter.
I wanna try various things with the comfort of a physical keyboard and mouse without needing to buy another keyboard with bluetooth.
Also,is there a root method for RCA 7 Mercury with 4.4 KitKat?
Towelroot says "not yet supported" when trying.
Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my Chiq 50in Android TV. I added a bluetooth mouse for use with Chrome browser (via Sideloader) because using the remote is a pain. Problem is, the mouse works perfectly...except for one thing. When I need to enter text, the mouse won't select from the onscreen keyboard, so I have to resort to the remote again which is so slow. Any ideas or suggestions?
Would a keyboard work for inputting text?

I acquired an android TV and am looking for best way to have a keyboard connected to my mobile as I do a search I have searched for options with no help, currently doing manual search using remote control.
Have you tried the Android TV Remote by Google? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote
I just plug in a Logitech USB wireless dongle and my Logitech keyboard/mouse work fine. I've also used one of the Lenovo mini-keyboards using its dongle.
