Minix Neo A3 compatibility confusion

by Sheshirdzhija

Sorry if dumb.

I got an Android TV, Philips 50PUS7304. The remote is terrible (no backlight, no kb, no mouse).

​

I see Minix Neo series (A2) recommended all over the internet as THE air mouse/kb for android TV.

I need pointer, kb and voice. So A2/A3 would be my picks, not the lite versions.

​

On their website, they only officially support it with their own box.

I recognize the difference between official support, and actually working. I am only interested if it is actually working. According to reviews it should, but not sure if reviews are done with the Minix boxes, or just the remote.

​

Also, do normally all apps support the air mice?

I've seen some posts that some (Netflix?) don't support all mice (mouse click is mapped wrong or smthng)?

​

Also, if there is a better alternative to Minix Neo A3, please recommend.

​

Eventually, when the sw/hw of the TV is outdated, I'll likely get a separate box. but for now, I plan on using the built in platform.

I own the remote, but not the tv. The remote will probably work, for the most part. On non-Minix boxes, most buttons work, with the exception of the power button. I should also note, that since your tv probably doesn't have a kl file for this remote, the ok button is most likely going to be paired with enter instead of dpad center. This can cause a problems in poorly coded apps.
