Can you connect a mouse or keyboard to MiBox S?

by Chickenluck

Before you go crazy on me stating that all Android TV boxes can connect to external peripherals, hear me out kind souls.
I have tried connecting usb wireless mice and bluetooth mice but somehow - the mouse cursor never appears on my screen. I've tried mouse toggle (having to use a workaround with an android mouse app) and it works - but it's not pleasant.

I've tried googling but no one seems to have this issue and I'm starting to worry if it's my unit alone. Can anyone who owns a MiBox S confirm if they have no issues whatsoever with external mice?

p.s. I owned the original MiBox and everything connects seamlessly.

Did you turn on allow usb debugging in the developer settings? I just found you can't connect usb peripheral devices with that setting turned on.

Have you upgraded to Pie before doing this? My mibox s won't detect any keyboard or mouse after I upgraded. I regret upgrading and not doing enough research before doing so.
