I think it would be great if we made a list of USB keyboards/mice that work or don't work.
This way if someone is on the lookout for a keyboard/mouse at the moment while we get our 3.1 update, they can look at this list.
Also I don't know if this should be here or accesories..
Keyboard:
Work
Wired 79-Key Compact Slim USB Keyboard - White + Silver from Deal Extreme
Don't Work
Wired Apple iMac Keyboard
10" Case from ebay
Wired Dell SK-8115
Mouse: (Only after installing netham's USBMouse.apk)
Work
Wireless Logitech M215
Wired Dell M-UVDEL1
Don't Work

For Couch Potato like me,
But you must have USB host cable to make use of this.
Because this is not BT it comes with Wireless Dongle.
If you have a logitech wireless keyboard or mouse, it's pretty easy to get it paired with the Ouya. There's no interface on the Ouya for it. You have to use a Windows machine and use the logitech software to pair the devices to a specific unifying receiver. Once it's paired on the windows machine, shutdown the computer. Remove the receiver, and stick it on the Ouya. Voila!
It appears that Logitech saves some configuration data on the tiny receivers, so that's how it works. I have a Logitech Mouse and keyboard on one receiver. Works great.

I don't think you have to install it on a PC first. The Mouse and Keyboard drivers are universal HUD drivers. Android (OUYA) comes preinstalled and fully configured to plug and play [ANY] mice and keyboard.
Here is what I use:
Measy Air-Mouse/Keyboard RC11

Still good information to know that the OUYA hasn't EXCLUDED any official Android supported devices.

Well, if the receiver is already paired with a device, yes you don't need to do anything special, just plug it in. BUT, if you need to pair a new Logitech keyboard with a Logitech receiver that's paired with an existing mouse, you need to use the logitech software to interface with the receiver to tell it to pair a new device. What I didn't know is that this pairing configuration is stored on the USB receiver, not as a computer setting. That's the handy part.
I have the receiver on a power USB 2.0 hub connected to the Ouya. The Ouya can be turned on using the mouse or keyboard.
Yea. I've found that most Keyboard/Mice are specifically paired with the receiver they ship with. I haven't had any luck repairing a device with a new receiver.

the OP is talking specifically about Logitech keyboards and mice (that just sounds weird) that are compatible with the Unifying program. I have one of their top end mouse and a good KB paired and I switch them around from my desktop to laptop and knew it was stored on the device or USB (or both, maybe), so I figured it would work but didn't know for sure so thanks for posting this!
Logitech Unified Device Pairings with KitKat v. Lollipop
It appears that Logitech Unified devices work with every KitKat or Lollipop (5.0) device I can connect them to, but not at all with any 5.1 devices. Suggestions sought .....
Hi All,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I bought MHL 2.0 and OTG cables.
Both are working fine, if it is used separately.
Meaning, connecting MHL cable to T.V's HDMI for watching movies, videos in bigger screen is superb.
Similiarly, connecting OTG for external thumb drive, keyboard and mouse are nice feature.
I want to use both MHL and OTG cable (wireless keyboard / mouse USB dongle connected to OTG), so that I can watch it in TV and also use mouse and keyboard. I have tried the below options:
Option1:
Connected MHL to TV and Note 3. In MHL we have micro USB for power but for Note 3, MHL don't need the separate power supply and so I have tried connecting OTG to the MHL power, but it is not detected
Option 2:
I have googled and came to know Samsung Smart Hub Dock, but it says not compatiable for Note 3 and S5
Option 3:
Googled more and got this "VicTsing® Multi-functional 3 in 1 Connection Kit USB OTG" but unfortunately this also mentioned not supported to use both MHL and OTG at the same time.
Week back only I have bought new wireless keyboard and mouse for $90 and don't want to spend again in buying bluetooth keyboard and mouse which would cost (more than $150)
Any suggestions on how to connect MHL (for HDMI) and OTG(for connecting wireless keyboard/mouse) at the same time
I can offer you some work arounds. I personally use BT mouse and keyboard. (BTW a kind of stupid oversight I use microsoft sculpt bt mouse that I remember specifically states on the box full android functionality not that I cared at the time, anyway when only the mouse is connected I cant get the on screen keyboard to work as if the mouse HID is recodnized as both)
there are more then a few software sollutions involving sharing HID via Wifi through your pc and router or computer to phone BT connection. or aby tablet as remote on screen HID but I think having a good cheap BT set near by is generally usefull for more then a few things so I do believe its worth the one time spending.
On another note I couldent figure out if Samsung has a Multimedia Dock Specifically for Note 3 since it would be more then ideal

There is one that works
See this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/accessories/mhl-usb-otg-t1741583/page22
SKU: 238273 on DealExtreme DX.com
That is the one I have and the same one "brb8two" mentions in comment #217.
It works perfect with my S4 and also works with my Wireless Xbox receiver, but it is MHL 1.0 which I believe is NOT a full 60frames or whatever, so it may appear slightly laggy but not bad and definitley better than the Samsung hub option for $99.
If you come across one with MHL 2.0 please let me know. Haven't been able to find one yet.
I thought it can make sense to list here alternative options to use the continuum feature. Here is what I use:
- Aukey USB-C to HDMI adapter
- Supremery BT Keyboard within Touchpad
Good to see alternatives are working fine
Monoprice USB-C to HDMI adapter: works for video, but flaky connection. I also don't get any audio output.
Aukey USB-C to VGA adapter: the phone recognizes a USB device is connected, but doesn't work.
Microsoft Display Dock: Works well without issue of course. However, a few comments - it doesn't work without a power connection. It also doesn't like the Google dual-port USB-C charger and refuses to power up from that (despite the Google charger being capable of 5V / 3A just like the Microsoft one).
Works without issues with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for Macbook 12 Retina. And does not need necessarily current.
Continuum works great with the "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter" too, sound and vision go to the TV/Monitor and phone turns into Trackpad. Just like using the dock but less hassle and wires.
I also tried my Roku3, it works but can be a little flaky
It dosn't work with XCSOURCE USB-C 56k ohm to HDMI /USB 3.1 Multiport Adapter for MacBook LT11
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311536382296
USB port works great...flash drive and keyboard works smooth...BUT HDMI dosn't work at all
Everytime when HDMI cable is inserted phone throw an error with dosn't recognized USB...
Hello,
I also bought the Aukey -C USB to HDMI adapter.
But on 2 Samsung tv , I have problems of disconnection and resolution.
If anyone can help me ....
Thank you in advance
i bought vtin vs1-vvc9h from amazon. Video works.. But i could not make audio to work.
I also bought vicTsing mx-vs1-PCL005B from amazon too. And video worked but audio did not.
I know audio works on ms hd500 with same monitor and cables
The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor v2 works well in continuum mode unless you use 5GHz wifi, in which case it is extremely poor, sound and display stutters like there is no tomorrow.
My Surface pro 2 (normal extended display) has the same issues connecting to it with 5GHz wifi used.
So in short, connect to your internet with a 2.4GHz wifi AP if you intend to use The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor.
I'm quite tempted to get the dock now as one of my office PCs is about to have a catastrophic HHD fail and continuum will kill several birds with a single stone.

Some people on reddit used this and it worked. Can someone confirm?
I have a LG 42LA660s Smart TV, with Miracast enabled. I just connected my phone to a wireless display, and the Continuum works. It is not flawless but I am satisfied with it.

With the coming of the new Macbook with USB-C, there are now quite a few new and cost effective alternatives on the market. I recently bought an unbranded dongle/dock thing which is advertised as to be used with the new Macbooks. It has a USB-C connector on one end, with a USB-A port, HDMI-out port, and USB-C charging port on the other. Works really well, got it for about 1100 INR / 17.50 USD
My display dock HD 500 with a lumia 950 does only view 720p on my full HD TV. Is there any chance to force 1080p output?
I'm gonna check this tomorrow on work where mine Lumia950 and HD500 are and a Dell 24" FHD screen.
Works fine with my Surface Go tablet and LG FHD 55" television. Surface Go with USB-C kabel and LG-tv with HDMI.
And also my Lumia950 works with it on my LG-tv or at work on HP 24".
