Hello guys
Last year, before Marshmallow, the Shield TV would work properly with the K400 keyboard, if you pressed the backspace key, it would be the same as pressing the back button on an android phone. Now there are many apps, like TED or BBC iPlayer which do not respond to either the backspace button or the ESC key, so you cannot "go back". The only work around is to use the gaming controller or the Android TV app for android phone, and the back button works fine with those.
Any idea how to fix that, is it something that can be changed by rooting/custom flashing the shield box?
Also my box was bought in the USA and my keyboard is british, which means @ and " are reversed etc... can I change it to UK map somehow?
Thanks,
Mark.

I plugged in a external keyboard(IBM/Lenovo Travel keyboard w/ trackpoint and trackpad).
For the most part it worked. I found a few interesting things:
Home - goes to your main home screen( i was using Launcher Pro Plus)
End - locks and turns off screen
Certain Fn keys lock screen
Middle mouse/wheel click - brings up menu
right mouse click - its the "back" menu button
Anyone else try other devices?

I bought and use a Maylong 150 KB. Works fine plugged into the USB port.
Once you install CM10.1 on your Q, one vexing problem is how you get the power menu to show up.
I discovered that if I push the "hibernate" button (picture of a moon on it) on my Logitech wireless keyboard, that brings up the power menu. I have no idea what the usual keyboard equivalent would be (or even if there is one) if you don't have this key on your keyboard. However, it's certainly a useful thing to have.
I ended up just using a widget that adds shutdown / restart icons to my home screen. I wonder if I have a key combo I can pull up on my Rii i6 remote that will trigger that menu
I've been using Droidmote server (on the Q) and Droidmote client on my phone/tablet and it has a power button on the controller with arrows (page 2 in the client app). Droidmote has been working pretty well for me, but it has some minor issues that make it a little bit of a pain in the ass. It's still the most usable solution I've found yet.
I personally manage to get it from a Logitech keyboard, by pushing the "User" touch (left corner).
Other thing, how you restart the Q with CM 10.1 after shut it down? I haven't figured out yet so I always have to unplug/plug it..
Thanks!
I use Button Savior to bring up the power menu.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way to set up half life(xash) with an ipega controller.
I need a way to emulate keyboard input, however connecting the controller in keyboard mode simply doesn't work because each coordinate of the joystick for example inputs a different character and pressing a button inputs two at a time.
I need a way to make it so pressing "A" for example emulates pressing "SPACE" on a bluetooth keyboard.
We wanted one remote to be able to turn on/off the TV, change inputs and volume, and control the Shield. Never had a problem until the 8.0 upgrade, now the "Enter" button is not accepted by the Hulu app. The arrow buttons work, the Enter button works in other apps, and Hulu accepts Enter from the NVIDIA remote, but for some reason Hulu does not like the Enter button on this particular remote.
This is what we're using:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CL3ZXGO/
IR setup is:
Power -> TV Power
Red -> TV Input
Yellow -> TV Volume Down
Blue -> TV Volume Up
The other buttons are non-IR and talk to the Shield.
I found an app that can remap the enter button for a price, but I was wondering if there are any free solutions available? In my opinion this is a bug, and I don't want to pay if Hulu is going to fix the bug.
If u press the home button and the back button together the tv is gone off with the shield same time u most have to setup your tv to be control with shiel remote
Hi everyone, I'm using a mini wirless keyboard on a TCL android TV, the keyboard is one of those cheap that seems like a joypad with RGB retroillumination colors, I'm having a strange issue with the OK button, during a normal selection action it works well to give confirm command, but it cannot works as ENTER after texted something, also the ENTER button can't works as Enter command, so I must to keep enabled the virtual keyboard on the bottom of the screen and click on the virtual ENTER button to get the ENTER command... I've seen the same issue on this video at 7:00 minute, same keyboard as me..
is there a way to fix this? maybe it needs a driver? tnx bye
does anyone use anykind of keyboard with his android TV? does the ENTER button work porperly after texting something?
Logitech K400, same issue. Enter key won't act as it does on Windows
I'm going to get one, but still havent decided if I really need it and which one.
Connect your phone to the same Wi-Fi as your Android TV device, open the app, and choose "Accept & Continue." Select your television or set-top box from the list and enter the PIN which appears on your TV. On Android smartphones, whenever you select a text field, the keyboard will automatically appear. If you want to reset the wireless keyboard, follow the below mentioned steps-
Turn off your keyboard.
With the keyboard turned off, hold down the ESC key.
While holding down the ESC key, turn on your keyboard.
After about 5 seconds, release the ESC key. You will see the keyboard lighting flash if the reset is successful.
