Buying tips
- If your Android box’s launcher is pointer-driven (like a browser or a file manager), prioritize a touchpad or air-mouse model over a keyboard-only design.
- 2.4GHz USB dongles are generally more reliable for gaming and video apps than Bluetooth, which can lag slightly during fast input.
- Check your box has a free USB port before buying a dongle-based keyboard — Bluetooth-only models are the fix if all your ports are full.
- Backlit keys matter more than they sound if you’re typing passwords in a dark room after the lights are off.
