Keyboard/mouse for Mi Box?

by seenhear

Has anyone tried a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or keyboard with touchpad) with the Mi Box? Do they work well? I know you can get keyboard functionality from the Android TV app on a phone, but it doesn't always work. Case in point: trying to display codec info while playing a video in Kodi (or most other keyboard controls in Kodi).

Yes, I put a 4 port hub on mine. I put a mouse, keyboard, Gig Ethernet adapter, and a 128 Gig usb stick.

I have the Logitech K400 that uses a USB dongle plugged into my Mi Box. Just bought the box yesterday, plugged in keyboard and everything works great.

I feel like something like this or this would be a good buy.

My Logitech K830 works flawlessly with MiBox.

FYI - for people looking for cheap remote-control style keyboard / mouse combos, here are 2.4Ghz models that use a USB wireless receiver (either plugged directly into the Mi Box or via a USB hub):

I have connected two different USB mouses directly to my Mi Box, but it doesn't work, I get no pointer. Neither in launcher or apps (sideloaded apps).

I lost my standard Mi Box remote a week ago. Since then I have been using my keyboard/mouse through USB. I was wondering if anyone knew how to power up the Mi Box from the keyboard (such as hitting esc or something). I hate unplugging from the power source and having to reset date/time each time I want to stream. Thanks in advance!
