List of USB Devices that work.

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

Pairing logitech mouse/keyboards w/ Unifying receiver on Ouya

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 .....

[Q] Reg Dock vs Keyboard/Mouse

Hi folks,
Recently i purchased a Samsung Multimedia Dock, and am loving it already as its converting my super smart S4 to a Super Smart computer....
only thing i want help from you is can i connect a Wireless mouse/keyboard [using the dongle -mouse/keyboard]
I tried with one of the very old[2years] wireless keyboard/mouse that i am using with my laptop but it didnt responded to the Dock.
Note: normal wired mouse and keyboard where working with DOCK. and also this wireless keyboard/mouse that am trying is a IR based one i believe. also its a one dongle vs both keyboard & mouse.
please help me in this regard
thanks

MHL 2.0 and OTG together

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.

What kind of mouse do I need to root my Shield TV?

So, I have the version of the Shield TV that doesn't have the rechargeable controller, and the cord to charge it with. So, I need to figure out a way to select options since neither my controller or my logitech wireless mouse work when in fastboot mode, recommendations are appreciated.

If you don't want to buy yourself a wired mouse for super cheap, just borrow one from a friend/acquaintance. You can get one at Wal-Mart for less than $5... Having a functional wired mouse and keyboard around is always a good idea when you're tinkering with computers, devices, etc.
P.s. I use an older Microsoft Laser Light wired mouse from my older Windows 7 desktop PC for all my wired mouse needs. Works perfectly every time and with every device for me.

Oh wow, so any wired mouse will do? Okay, thanks.

I'd just about imagine any traditional standard USB wired mouse will work just fine for the SHIELD TV. As long as the wired mouse itself is functioning as it's supposed to and can perform its primary/core functions of acting as an input device for pointing/moving the cursor around on the display, and of course, allowing one to click/select on-screen objects with the mouse button(s), you're gonna be in good shape.
I'd say it's probably a safe bet that practically any USB connected wired mouse is gonna give you the core functionalities with almost any compatible device nowadays(devices which can accept a mouse as an input device).
Hmmm.. This kinda got me wonderin out of my own curiosity now. One thing somewhat related to your topic is that I'm a little unsure about the ability to use, for example, a USB-C wired mouse and needing to attach some kinda converter type dongle thing to the existing USB-C connector, which would then convert the USB-C connection into a traditional USB type plug. I wonder if using converters in that way would be supported as well?
