The keyboard is connected to the TV via Bluetooth 2.1 channel wireless keyboard.

The keyboard has a touchpad, and keyboard shortcuts to the main functions of management watching TV. For countries not using the Latin alphabet has additional lettering on the keyboard.

It is intended to facilitate the work of the user associated with typing. But user feedback works only with the browser and in multiple applications. Full use of it as a computer keyboard is not possible. It replaces only a standard remote control, and is an analogue remote control Smart Touch Control with the addition of a keyboard.

Opinions about the keyboard is pretty interesting, people are quite happy with the European countries and the majority of the positive reviews, testimonials from Russia and other Russian-speaking countries, 80% negative.

Perhaps such a huge difference in the estimates of the keyboard is connected with the fact that the English-speaking audience mainly uses predefined services for watching videos or communicating online Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, in this case the keyboard is used purely for typing, and applications to adapt to it.

Russian-speaking audience is trying to use applications developed for one country, and application developers do not pay attention to application compatibility and keyboard.
