Hi all as the title says i was wondering if there is a reccomended kb and mouse to connect to the tv to be able to use. I noticed that i have speech option on google or orther apps, but my remote does not have that option available , so was just wondering if there is a kb and mouse solution that i can use with my tv. Thank you

There is a wide list of USB or Bluetooth option you have with your Android TV, but none will give you the speech option... I would try first to use the official TV&Video sideview app on any Android smartphone/tablet that will give you for free keyboard, mouse and speech capabilties

PS it works also on iphone/ipad but AFAIK do not support voice speech

Hi there

Many claim on these forums thar they use the Logitech K400. But as Rooobb said above, it doesnt have a microphone for the speach option.

Cheers

Yes as Quinnicus says, the most common, good and cheap keyboard is Logitech K400+. I think I have seen this and another one as Sony suggestions but cannot find the link again.

The only problems with this specific K400+ is that :

there is no PROG +/- button,
there is no microphone,
there is an issue in Technical adjustments setup when trying to USB download your channel list(selection faded): https://community.sony.gr/t5/televisions/bravia-android-tv-why-is-programme-list-transfer-greyed-out/m-p/2162197#M43147
and there is an annoying info every time TV starts, that there is a USB device connected..
