Actually you can't find Bluetooth with air mouse and voice control. You definitely will be having some USB based one.

This USB one works well with my Sony. Like others said, not sure Bluetooth is an option. But there's a million of these USB RF ones to choose from that are really cheap.

Yah, since there is only one usb port and usb hub make mi box become not so portable so I would like to change all connection to bluetooth

Unfortunately the USB remotes with microphone don't work for voice control, it is hard coded to the Bluetooth LE microphone. I reported in a feedback thread on here ages ago so if we're lucky it might work in Oreo but not holding my breath.

I haven't found a Bluetooth one without limitations,the only one I am aware of is one of the Rii ones and most of those have one side that works only with IR and one side with keyboard and limited extra buttons which works only with USB or Bluetooth (depending on model).

With Marshmallow applications that use the webview don't respond to mouse clicks. The most annoying is Netflix. You have to keep toggling the mouse on and off depending on the app since on most the ok button changes between left click and enter. The inconsistency of Android TV input is my main disappointment. Some apps don't respond to media playback controls other than play/pause either. One (Animelab} doesn't even respond to enter so I have to switch to HDMI CEC input for that one. It feels like Android TV is only really meant for very simple remote input. Now that air mice are fairly standard for smart TVs and Android TV is on a number of brands hopefully it will improve.

I wonder if it is possible to use one of the manufacturer air mouse/magic remotes? Not without root and a custom driver I expect. I think most of them don't use Bluetooth.

A better option might be a living room keyboard/touchpad and using the original remote. QWERTY keyboards on remotes are frustrating to type on. Another reasonable option is to use the Android TV remote app on your phone.
