With the advent of the new generation TV, many probably remembered the phrase from the famous film that "the TV will soon replace everything, there will be no cinema, no theater, only a TV." Indeed, even an ordinary computer, if you previously used it for entertainment purposes, is now increasingly covered with dust. This technique is not enough for a conventional remote, because there was a need for a keyboard for Smart TV . It will be discussed later.
Keyboard for TV Smart TV
It is quite logical to assume that since the TV replaces the computer, it is also possible to take and connect the keyboard with the mouse. It is so, but with some caveat. In fact, the very first models of new generation TVs did not have such a function as connecting devices via Bluetooth, now almost all of them without any problems "are friends" with wireless mice and keyboards.
Anyway, the question of buying a regular or branded "native" keyboard remains open to this day. The thing is that there are a number of products from different companies that are quite successfully connected to modern TVs, but the field of your actions with them is much less. So, how is it really better to do: save money and choose ordinary accessories or spend it on branded accessories? We will try to solve this problem with the help of the list with the most probable possibilities, which will be obtained in both cases:
- When you connect the standard technology, you will work with it, both with a computer. Namely, get a drop-down menu when watching a movie after double-clicking the left button.
- Further concerning Smart Hub. If it's a regular keyboard, then it's up to you to choose an application, but the mouse will not work. Wireless proprietary keyboard for TV will give an opportunity if desired and a message in the social network to dial.
- It is very convenient to work with the keyboard with a touchpad for the TV, because your actions are almost not limited at all. In this case, you can use this device for its intended purpose, and as a remote control.
- When you connect the usual technology will have to select only some companies, because the rest of your TV just will not see. In the case of a proprietary wireless keyboard for a TV, you can safely plug it in and not worry.
- Now about the wireless model itself. At your service as native branded models directly from the manufacturer of the TV itself, and universal options for a mini keyboard for Smart TV. Such models, though three times smaller in size, but equipped with all the necessary features from the touchpad to the scrolling of the wheel or a full set of all the features of the brand gadget.
It turns out that the keyboard for Smart TV, if necessary, can become a full-fledged console or, in conjunction with a TV, replace the usual PC . If we are talking about wireless systems, it all comes down to the inclusion of a signal on the device, and then the technician will do the main job for you. With the wires have a little trick.
How to connect the keyboard to the TV?
For those who have a TV model that does not support wireless connection, the information below is useful. Consider a simple algorithm for how to connect the keyboard to the TV:
- Looking for a USB connector on the back of the TV;
- immediately after connecting the device will produce a sound and a message on the screen, similarly with the mouse;
- then go to the "Menu", select "System" and "Task Manager" - all this we do for customization (this applies to hot keys, mouse buttons for right-handed and left-handed, speed and all other standard settings for comfort in work) .
Working with wireless, but not "native" devices, almost nothing is different. Again, go to the "Device Manager", and then choose "Add a mouse" or a Bluetooth keyboard. After that, your TV will automatically search for the device. Next, you will receive a message stating that you need to pair devices and press the enter button. This ends everything and you can start diving into the virtual world.
