It’s no secret that modern TVs can connect various additional devices, and in this publication we’ll talk about how to connect a keyboard and mouse to a Samsung Smart TV. It should be said that you can connect both wired and wireless input devices to the TV panel, which work using Bluetooth technology or a USB transceiver. However, you can connect a keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth if your TV has this function, but wireless input devices with a miniature USB transceiver do not need this.
It must be said that according to the developers from Samsung, keyboards and mice from not all manufacturers are compatible with TVs. But most models starting from 2012 (read here) will work with input device manufacturers such as Logitech, A4tech, Genius, CBR, Apple and of course Samsung, but I will mention their creations below.
I can say with confidence that the Samsung TV will also work with a keyboard and mouse from Gembird and some pointing devices from Chinese friends. Well, let's get down to business and connect the keyboard and mouse to the Smasung TV. I will demonstrate the entire process using a model from the 2012 line. In the following series, only the interface differs, but the process of connecting input devices is fundamentally similar.
The connection process itself is quite simple and should not cause you any difficulties. Take a cable with a USB plug from input devices or a transceiver if you are connecting a wireless keyboard or mouse and insert it into the USB connector of the TV.
If the connection is successful, Smart TV will notify you with a message that a new device is connected to the TV and after that the keyboard and mouse will be ready for use. You may also receive a notification that not all applications support the new connected device. One way or another, input devices to which Samsung has nothing to do are limited in functionality, unlike a proprietary keyboard, but we’ll talk about this later.
Now, if you need it, you can go to “Menu” - “System” - “Device Manager” and configure the input devices for the robot with a TV based on your preferences. Of course, “Device Manager” cannot boast of wide functionality, but the simplest settings are there.
For example, in Keyboard Options you can change the keyboard shortcuts to switch input languages, and in Mouse Options you can change the primary button (left or right), pointer size (large or small), and pointer speed (slow, standard, or fast).
Also in the “Device Manager” you can configure a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for a robot with a TV. To do this, just turn on the Bluetooth device and go to “Menu” - “System” - “Device Manager” and then select settings depending on what is connected, a keyboard or a mouse.
In the parameters, you need to click on “Add a Bluetooth keyboard” (accordingly, for the pointing device you need to select “Add a Bluetooth mouse”) after which the TV will start searching for the device automatically. After Samsung Smart TV finds a Bluetooth device, it will inform you that you need to establish a relationship between them.
Press the enter button on the remote control and confirm the action to pair the devices by pressing the “Enter” button a second time and press the “Connect” button on the connected device. That's it, now there is pairing between the TV and the mouse (keyboard).
This is how you can easily and simply connect a keyboard, a mouse with a wire or a transceiver, as well as via Bluetooth technology, to a Samsung TV panel.
Mouse, standard and proprietary keyboard capabilities.
I have already mentioned that the functionality of a regular computer mouse and keyboard in combination with a Samsung TV has some limitations, but they fulfill their main purpose. First of all, the classic keyboard and mouse are designed for a web browser.
They work flawlessly with the built-in Internet browser and, unlike a standard remote control, make it possible to comfortably search for the necessary information on the Internet and at the same time you can watch some channel.
Actually, all controls in the browser are identical to those on the computer. While watching TV channels, some functions can be performed using the mouse. For example, double-clicking the left mouse button anywhere on the screen will bring up a kind of menu from which you can go to the “Smart Hub” or open the TV’s “Menu”. One right-click will open the Tools window.
Using the manipulator in the Smart Hub, you are only free to select the required application, but the keyboard and mouse will not work with it. As for the “Menu” itself, you can freely make all settings in it using the mouse.
At this point, the capabilities of computer input devices are exhausted, but it is likely that in future models of Samsung TVs these manipulators will be given more freedom. If you are already familiar with such TV panels today, then share their capabilities in working together with computer input devices in the comments.
Now let's talk a little about the capabilities of the proprietary wireless keyboard VG-KBD1000 from Samsung. Compared to classic input devices, it simply has no boundaries and also harmoniously combines ergonomics and style. This model has rich functionality and everything in it is thought out to the smallest detail.
It allows you to conveniently control your TV and replaces not only a regular keyboard and mouse, but also a remote control. For example, the built-in touchpad allows you to literally glide the cursor across the Smart Hub interface, and the input field on the keyboard allows you to type messages on social networks. In addition, you can use it in services and, of course, fully surf the Internet.
However, do not be too deluded, because not all applications support it. This is due to the fact that keyboard support in applications is determined by the program developer, and not Samsung.
On its board it has hot keys that allow you to access the functional control of the TV. You can also use it to switch channels and adjust the volume in the TV panel. In addition, it is compatible with Samsung tablets and smartphones running the Android operating system. You can connect the keyboard to your TV using Bluetooth wireless technology.
According to the developers, this keyboard is compatible with TV models of 2012 (LED ES6100 and higher, PDP E550 and higher) and 2013 (LED F6400 and higher, PDP F5500 and higher), as well as Samsung mobile devices running Android 3.0 and higher .
It must be said that the keyboard is compatible with Samsung Smart TV models that only have a built-in Bluetooth adapter. Therefore, if your TV series E (2012), F (2013), H (2014) and the developers have equipped it with a Bluetooth adapter, then this keyboard will be supported by your television panel. If your Smart TV does not support a proprietary keyboard, then try connecting a keyboard with a radio module to it.
In conclusion, I suggest you watch the thematic video.

Does the keyboard work in other applications?

Pliz pliz pliz. The TV is about 3 years old. We bought a keyboard, connected it, everything was as written, pairing happened. But when I log into YouTube, it doesn’t print anything, and nfxgfl doesn’t work either. (((Trouble. Help me out, friends!!!
2017-12-26T21:19:36+00:00
Marvelous. If a function is declared in a TV model, then in my understanding it should be activated by default. You need to be very careful in the engineering menu. In my practice, on one of the models, the type of matrix was accidentally changed and 3D stopped playing. Only after some time I managed to find out what was wrong and return everything to normal. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how to solve this problem. Perhaps one of the visitors will tell you.

I have a 6 series 55 inch TV. The description said that it has bluetooth. I planned to connect headphones and a keyboard with a mouse using it. And I was very surprised by the complete absence of any mention of bluetooth in the TV menu. Then on YouTube I found a description of how to turn on bluetooth and output sound to a bluetooth device. This functionality has been disabled in the engineering menu. After I managed to get into the engineering menu, and this happened after many experiments, I turned on these settings, and bluetooth-related items appeared in the TV menu. That is, now the headphones connect perfectly. It seems that the keyboard can also be connected via bluetooth (but I don’t), but the mouse cannot be connected via bluetooth. It seems again that something needs to be changed in the engineering menu. Nobody knows what exactly needs to be changed in the engineering menu so that you can connect via bluetooth and a mouse?

Estone mouse, I remember on that one (as in the pictures) everything worked
2017-12-23T11:10:49+00:00
But what about it? But what exactly?
2017-12-23T09:49:04+00:00
TV model - UE43MU6100U. The TV is completely new, and I'm a very careful girl. I have long wanted to buy a mouse, but there are 2 TVs in the house. They are both from Samsung, mine is new and the other is old. I remember connecting a completely different mouse to the second TV - everything worked, but with the new one I’m somehow very afraid that I’ll ruin everything... Can you help with this case?
2017-02-20T20:17:22+00:00
We have not encountered such a problem. What if you turn off one of the TVs, connect a keyboard to the other, and then turn on the second one. Can I find out the model of the keyboard, maybe I can find out something for you?
2017-02-20T19:58:30+00:00
Good day! Question regarding the Samsung wireless keyboard. How can I reconnect it to another TV? The fact is that there are 2 smart TVs in the house and when you try to use the keyboard on the 2nd TV, the actions are performed on the 1st.

Why should he suddenly burn out? No one drives amps there =)
2017-02-02T16:14:51+00:00
Many thanks to the author. I temporarily connected a wireless mouse to a Samsung TV UE32J5500AU, found everything and it works. I'm confused by the unnatural heating of the mouse transceiver (which is plugged into USB) compared to a netbook. WILL IT NOT BURN?
2016-11-28T00:11:04+00:00
Yes, there is hardly any incompatibility, but to discard this idea, try connecting other mice. The problem may be in the firmware.

Hello Hello. When a mouse is connected to a USB port, it is not detected in the system (the mouse is working (A4tech swop 80-pu8) - I take it out of the computer). TV ue22h5600 - new (10.2016). The mouse LED is on. Both USB ports work. What am I doing wrong? If this mouse is not compatible with TV (how is this possible!?), then how to find the right one?
- via standard USB input using cords and ports
- and through a radio signal - for a wireless keyboard and mouse - everything is simple there - you connect the transmitted device to the TV and you have the opportunity to use these items.
Buy a keyboard and mouse that matches your TV. Now stores sell universal keyboards that can be connected to any TV with Smart TV.
Open the box and read the instructions :)))
In the box you will find an adapter that looks like a flash drive. Insert it into any free USB socket on your TV and enjoy the capabilities of your keyboard/mouse. If the signal is not enough, and the keyboard no longer receives signals within 5 meters, insert a signal amplifier into the USB. It also comes with the keyboard.
It all depends on the company and the configuration of the TV. Not all TVs are equipped with an output for connecting a mouse and keyboard. Since this then becomes essentially a monitor. And if such equipment is provided, then the outputs for them should be either in the side panel of the TV or somewhere on the front panel.
Modern TVs have advanced so far in technical terms that you can even connect additional devices such as a computer mouse and keyboard to them. To find out if your TV has this option, you need to carefully study the instructions for it.
As an example, let's look at the mechanism for connecting a mouse and keyboard to a Samsung Smart TV.
1) Connect a mouse or keyboard via the TV’s USB port. There is a special port for a wireless mouse.
Smart TV will inform you that a new device is connected. A message may also appear stating that the connected device is not supported by all applications.
After that, open the Menu, then the System, and in it the Device Manager and configure the connected device to your taste: change the language, pointer size or speed, etc.
In the same manager you can add and configure a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard. This is done as follows:
Unfortunately, the question contains little information about the TV. If I understand correctly the question about connecting a keyboard and mouse to a Smart TV. A keyboard and mouse can only be connected to other TVs via a computer. The first thing you need to do is read in the instructions whether your TV supports connecting a keyboard and mouse (it all depends on the year of manufacture). In the same instructions you can find information about the type or manufacturer of the keyboard and mouse. You can also go to the official website of the manufacturer of your Smart TV. Naturally, it is better to take a wireless keyboard and mouse by connecting it to the USB port of the TV.
If the TV supports a feature such as connecting a mouse and keyboard, then the TV must have a USB input on the rear panel to connect devices. Typically, TVs to which you can connect a mouse and keyboard are SMART TVs with Internet access.
You can safely connect a mouse and keyboard to those TVs that have the Smart TV function.
Using the mouse and keyboard, you can control built-in applications.
For these devices to work, you just need to connect them to the USB connector of the TV.
After connecting, messages will appear about the new connected devices: keyboard and mouse.
If the TV has a USB connector, then the connection occurs through it. In theory, any wireless computer mouse should be suitable for smart TVs. But not all wireless keyboards are suitable; it’s better to look at reviews on Yandex Market.
Your TV must support the Smart option. Then the keyboard and mouse can be connected via USB. If there is no such option, then you can try connecting the TV to the computer (via VGA for example), this way you will simply use the TV as a monitor.
There are two ways to connect a mouse or keyboard to the TV:
Modern TV models delight their owners with new technologies and the ability to connect additional devices to them. Smart TV is an excellent option for those who do not want to search for movies on the Internet from a computer, clutter their home with unnecessary equipment and master the operation of a computer.
This model of TV receiver is also ideal for members of the older generation who do not want or cannot delve into the essence of computer programs.
For more comfortable work on the Internet, Smart TV manufacturers offer to connect an ordinary computer mouse to it.
In this material we will tell you whether it is possible to connect a mouse and how to connect to a Smart TV. We’ll also talk about the varieties of these useful devices.
Connection features
It is worth noting that you can connect both wired and wireless devices to the TV to enter information. It all depends on the brand and capabilities of the device. Most mouse models connect without problems, regardless of the manufacturer.
Reference. A computer mouse is connected to a Smart TV mainly to work in a web browser. It allows you to work much more comfortably than with the remote control that comes with the TV.
Its use makes it possible to quickly and easily search for the necessary information on the Internet and at the same time select channels to watch.
Control in the Smart TV browser is no different from a computer. Even when watching channels, you can use your mouse to call up the TV menu, open the “Tools” window and perform the necessary actions.
How to connect a mouse to TV
Basics of the procedure 
The connection process will cause difficulties for the user.
To start Find a special USB connector on the back panel of the gadget and insert the mouse plug into it. After this, the connection will be established. Smart TV will notify you that a new device is connected. After this, it will be completely ready for full-fledged work.
Reference. The “Device Manager” of Smart-TV does not have huge functionality, but it has standard settings.
For example, Mouse Options offers you the following options.
- Swap the main button: from left to right and vice versa.
- Select the size of the pointer arrow: small or large.
- Set the speed of the pointer moving across the screen: slow, standard, fast.
Connecting a wired mouse
Everything is simple here: just find the USB input on the Smart TV panel and insert the mouse plug into it.
The TV must install the software itself. If this does not happen, then the device and TV are incompatible in some respects. Unfortunately, this also happens. In this case It is worth purchasing a mouse from another manufacturer.
Wireless mouse 
This device is more modern than a mouse with a tail. It is controlled remotely using a Bluetooth signal. The signal is transmitted from the adapter inserted into the TV itself to the mouse.
Installing such an accessory also does not require special knowledge. For a wireless mouse, simply insert the adapter into the USB input located on the side or back of the TV. And then turn on the mouse using the lever located on it. The lever must be set to the “ON” position.
Aeromouse 
This model appeared recently, but has already gained popularity among lovers of everything new and unusual. The pointer of this device moves using hand movements, and a special built-in gyroscopic sensor recognizes gestures.
The air mouse allows you to control the TV while lying on the bed or sitting in a chair. This mouse is not suitable for a regular computer, but for a Smart TV it is an excellent option.
The air mouse is connected to the TV in the same way as its wireless device, using a USB receiver. After this, the software is installed automatically. As a result, the air mouse becomes ready for use.
Possible difficulties encountered during connection
There are often cases when The Smart TV system cannot detect the connected gadget. In this case, it would be useful to open the instructions for your TV, which indicate specific device models suitable for this type of equipment. The solution to the problem is simple: you need to connect a mouse from a suitable manufacturer, and the issue will be resolved by itself.
The TV may also not “see” a mouse released later than itself. This is due to outdated software.
You can update the firmware through an external device - a flash drive with software or via the Internet, which is much easier. You need to open the TV menu, find the line “Support” and “Software Update” and click on the line “Update now”.
After this, the TV will find and offer the current version of the software, and you will only have to confirm further actions.
In most cases, these simple steps will help you connect an external input device - a mouse - without any problems. The user can only enjoy the convenience of controlling his Smart TV.
I think it’s no secret that modern TVs with Smart TV support the connection of regular computer mice and keyboards. In order to be able to manage the built-in browser, games and other applications. The process of connecting a mouse and keyboard is very simple; you just need to connect the devices to the USB connector of the TV.
In this article, I want to demonstrate how it all connects and works. There shouldn't be any problems. Although, I often notice messages that the keyboard and mouse do not want to work on Mystery Smart TVs. But, the instructions say that these devices are supported. I don’t know what the problem is, I can’t check it because I don’t have a Mystery TV.
And I will demonstrate the operation of a wired keyboard and wireless mouse using the example of an LG 32LN575U TV with the Smart TV function. My mouse is a wireless Rapoo 3710p (I also tried connecting a wired one). And a wired USB keyboard from A4Tech.
You know, I’ll tell you this: to control Smart TV, its browser and other programs, one mouse is enough. What is the keyboard for? To enter text, there are some search queries, etc. You won’t be printing any documents on the TV. So, doing this with a mouse is also very convenient, on an on-screen keyboard.
If you are thinking about buying a wireless (or wired, which is not very convenient) keyboard for your TV, then it seems to me that this is not a wise waste of money. Better buy a good wireless mouse.
How to connect a mouse and keyboard to a TV?
Everything is very simple. Take a cable or adapter (if you have wireless devices) and connect it to the USB connector of the TV. USB connectors are usually located on the side or back of the TV. On my LG 32LN575U, there are three USB connectors on the side. Like this:
Messages about connecting devices should immediately appear on the TV:
And a message about connecting the mouse:
Immediately after connecting the mouse, you can control the cursor. The controls are smooth, I liked it. Just like on a computer, pages in a browser can be scrolled with a roller.
I don’t know if anyone will need this, but I connected two mice at the same time, and they worked without problems.
You can also type text from the keyboard without any problems.
Even the function keys on the keyboard, which are responsible for muting and adjusting the sound, were active and working. I definitely didn't expect this.
Everything works and is quite convenient to use. As I wrote above, the keyboard is not really needed, at least for me. It’s even convenient to type text with a mouse. Best wishes!
In the last article we connected ours, and in this instruction I will tell you in detail how to connect a wireless or wired mouse and keyboard to a modern LG TV. I already wrote that without an Internet connection, the Smart TV function is almost meaningless. So, without a keyboard and mouse you can’t really work in it either. You can still control the system itself with the remote control, but typing text is a pain. And you can work with Smart TV much more conveniently and quickly with a mouse, and not only on LG TVs.
Of course, if you have a branded LG Magic Remote, then this saves the situation a little, although typing text with it is not very convenient. Therefore, if you actively use the smart functions of your TV, then it is better to connect a keyboard and mouse to it. Better yet, a wireless keyboard and mouse. LG TVs do not seem to have any serious problems supporting these devices. Everything works like clockwork.
I'll show you the example of the Rapoo 3710p keyboard and mouse. We will connect all this stuff to the LG 32LN575U TV. The model is still 2013. I think there shouldn't be any problems on newer TVs. Again, when the opportunity arises, I’ll try to connect it to a newer TV. In addition to the Rapoo mouse, I tried to connect an Asus mouse. Everything worked great. With wired devices everything is also fine.
Connecting a mouse and keyboard to an LG TV
Everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. Take an adapter from a mouse, or keyboard, or both (as in my case) and connect them to the USB connector of our TV.
At this moment, a message should appear on the TV indicating that new devices are connected. These messages disappear from the screen very quickly.
That's all :) The connected mouse or keyboard should already work. Turn on Smart TV and check. A cursor should appear on the TV screen.
You can check the keyboard operation in your browser. Or, for example, when searching for videos on YouTube.
