Keyboard for Apple TV

[gta1216]

I'm looking for a Bluetooth or USB keyboard that's compatible with Apple TV. Would I be able to input Chinese characters (traditional) if the keyboard also have a touchpad?

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I think that USB keyboards are not supported (basically …anything USB).

you can use the iPhone keyboard to enter text

Use your iPhone or iPad as a keyboard on Apple TV

You can use an iPhone or iPad to enter text directly into a text field on Apple TV.

I occasionally use my iPhone as a remote, but never knew I can use it as a kb.

it should pop up a notification on your phone when you get to a text field on the aTV, but that's hit or miss.

If you're in a text field on the aTV, there should be a keyboard button in the remote app on the phone.

and it does work with password managers, so a lot of times, for things that require a user/pass to be entered in the app on the aTV itself, I can do it with a couple clicks on the phone.

I turned on the kb notification, but there's no notification pop up. I was able to use my iPhone as a kb.

I'm just not very used to it since I don't use my iPhone as a remote very often to start with, but I'm glad it works and I don't have to get an external kb.

What's everyone's opinion about the iPazzport bt mini wireless kb?

Looks a bit weird, can't see how that's going to be more comfortable or easier to type on than your phone.

Logitech keys-to-go is a good very small keyboard option but that still gives you decent-sized keys to type on if you're determined to use a keyboard for Apple TV input.
