Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my Chiq 50in Android TV. I added a bluet https://speedtest.vet/ ooth 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 https://showbox.tools/ 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?
Hi,

Can I use a mouse without rooting my device?
Yes, buy an OTG adapter and plug it in. Also, I believe you can get a bluetooth mouse and use that.
Yes, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard work without issues. I have a Logitech mouse and an Apple keyboard that never gave me problems.

That,s great, I have an HP model that doesn't require a transmitter. On my first few attempts I it wouldn't recognize it. Got it now.
Next question, Is there any software to control settings for the mouse? Everything on the play store seems to turn your android INTO a mouse. What do you use? Thanks.
Just went through the directions and successfully updated CWM and installed the boot menu. Took a few tries to get CyanogenMod to boot up but once I wiped the user data and reinstall it booted up fine.
Question, is the OUYA controller useless once in CyanogenMod? Do I need a keyboard/mouse to use it properly? What is the fan favorite for devices to replace the awkward controller?
Thanks.

This. I can't type from my OUYA remote to the onscreen keyboard. I've searched to find a way to enable this feature and couldn't find anything that would. I would think adding OUYA Remote as an input device might do it (Keyboard & Input in CM Settings) But, there is no option to access it.
I tried dl'ing Six Axis and it got late so I wasn't able to mess with it too much, but, it didn't seem like it was going to work. Essentially, I just want to be able to select the letters of the onscreen keyboard with the Ouya controller. Has anyone had better luck?
I have really retired my OUYA controller. Multi port USB hub with a USB keyboard, for recovery work, wireless mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard are my choices. I don't much care for games so this is just an HTPC for me. XBMC, Pandora, some weather apps, Facebook and tumblr. I haven't even tried the controller with any android games. Does it work in that respect?

Ive not actually tried it. It Navigates ok with wireless xbox 360 controller, so I`d guess its ok. Seriously, get a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse, for pref, not a bluetooth one but one with a dongle. Bought mine for £15 and its a joy to use. Browsing on a nice big TV is awesome.
You need to manually link the ouya controller in the blue tooth setting menu. Put the controller into discovery more than select find BT devices. You only need to do this once
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.

Would a keyboard work for inputting text?

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.
