I have a Logitech K700 keyboard that I got with my Logitech Revue. I also have a logitech wireless mouse with a unifying dongle. Can I use the K700 keyboard with the unifying dongle to control the fire TV? I can use the mouse with the firetv but I want to use the K700 so I don't have to buy another compatible KB. I would prefer a backlit kb, which the K700 is not, if this combo won't work.
Is this K700 kb incompatible with the dongle? Is there a way to get it to work?
TIA.

As the topic says is this possible by using an MHL adapter to LCD screen and a bluetooth mouse and keyboard?
I know the MHL adapter for tv output would work but not sure if the bluetooth keyboard and mouse would.
Has any one tried using a keyboard/mouse with one x or know if it would work?
Also wanted to find out if there is anyway to use a ps3 dualshock as a controller or is the playpad my only option?
Yes, Android does support bluetooth mouse and keyboard and do exactly what you're asking. About the PS3 DS3 controller it is supported by an cheap app, "Sixaxis Controller" its in the Play Store, just install and run, pair the controller and configure or just use native android configuration on the app
Hi there,
just tried out my K400 with the ATV and have two questions:
- Is there a way to configure K400 at the ATV? Change touchpad scroll direction, key mappings ,etc.?
- Is it possible to connect K400 without the Logitech USB dongle?
Thx ahead

Doubt any of those are doable.
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.
Since the Fire TV stick has no usable USB port to speak of, we can't just plug in an IR dongle.
Some people have had success using HDMI-CEC and their TV remote control. However, my Olevia 232 TV doesn't seem to support the CEC protocol.
Has anyone had any luck using a PS3 remote? Has anyone tried using a Harmony PS3 adapter, or IR2BT bridge?
My thoughts were to build an Arduino device using BT shield setup to use the keyboard profile or Joystick profile; and couple that with an IR receiver.
I have successfully side loaded the settings.apk. I am able to pair a BT PC keyboard. I have seen reports that even some Samsung TV's don't support CEC protocol. So even if officially none of this works, I might be able to Pair one of the devices mentioned above with settings.apk.
Well, I had to side-load the settings.apk. In doing so, I could pair a bt keyboard and a bt media remote control by Satechi. Unfortunately, only PLAY/Pause and the home key do anything. But it's a star. The Forward and back buttons don't seem to work. However, I wonder, if they sent ff and rewind commands; if it would respond.
This gave me the idea to pair the Fire tv remote to my phone.
I was able to pair the Fire TV stick remote to my phone, and tested all of the key buttons .

If it's not a bluetooth mouse, you will need to pair the mouse with a unifying receiver using a computer and then plug the unifying receiver into the USB port of the fire tv.
Any extra info?
I have several spare Logitech usb mice that I use when needed. The range is great. They are years old and are only like 5-7 dollars.
No pairing needed.
