Hi, i have a zeki tbd753b tablet rooted running android 4.1.1 When i use splashtop or limelight, my external usb mouse does not get captured or used properly in those programs. I have to click and drag the mouse to get the arrow to move in those programs, If i use the touch screen its works fine but the mouse doesn't, also i have to click twice to get any input like clicking a button or closing a window or so. My usb keyboard is working fine but not my mouse, both are attached at the same time to a otg usb dongle. Thanks for any good help.
***** SEE MY UPDATED POST FURTHER BELOW FOR ALL OF THE KEYBOARD COMMANDS I DISCOVERED THAT WORK ON THE NEXUS PLAYER *****
View attachment 3020831I easily got my Logitech DiNovo Mini to connect. Make sure it is switched to PC mode and that you are also in "pairing mode" . Once the Nexus Player finds it, you will be prompted to enter the pin. Just type in the pin using the DiNovo keyboard and you are in.
I tested out most of the standard keyboard stuff and so far it is working flawlessly One neat thing I tested was the on board mouse pad. It works better than expected essentially giving you "touch" capabilities to the Nexus player screen. Just make sure you have the button switched from arrow mode to mouse mode.

This maybe a stupid question but should I get the Bluetooth model or the wireless model? I assume you are referring to the bluetooth model.
Did you use the bluetooth dongle to connect?
I'm not using it right now and can't get the keyboard to work, mouse works but i can't type anything.
Also i cant find any "back" button.
No dongle was used and I used the bluetooth model. All I did was press the red pairing button on the bottom (beneath plastic sheild) and once I had a flashing red light, I did the bluetooth scan from the nexus player. You will be prompted to enter a number code once it connects. just enter the numbers in and press enter on the diNovo and your all set. I really love the mouse pad. has come in very handy for some of the apps that don't all the way support the nexus remote. I too have not really found a "back" button yet (** UPDATE ** See my post further below). I'm sure in some form or fashion it exists with a shift or alt button key press. My keyboard fully works too so I'm not sure why your keyboard is not working. try pairing it again.
** UPDATE ** Back Key
After playing around with my diNovo, I discovered that the "WINDOWS" key activates search mode (pressing the right directional button thereafter enters you in to keyboard/typing mode).
In addition, pressing WINDOWS + BACK keys performs the same function as the BACK button on the Nexus Remote.
** updated keyboard commands ** love this thing!
Ok guys, I spent the day using my diNovo Mini and I am loving this thing more and more, This is funny because I originally purchased this guy about 4-5 years ago to use with my Home Theater PC and PS3 (this guy has a switch on the bottom that allows it to pair with either system), it was so small and easy to use. After some time I had stopped using it and it sat in a box for about 2 years of no use. When I got my Nexus Player I decided to take a look at it again just to see what it can do. As I mentioned in my 1st post I had no problems getting it to pair and work with my Nexus Player. After installing the Lollirock Rom by Zulu99. I successfully paired it again and put it through the ringer. I love how well this guy really works with Android. I know some people are happy with their full keyboard/mouse setup but I hate having all of that clunkyness all over the place. In my opinion the diNovo Mini is the perfect solution for my setup and use.
Here are the updated keyboard commands that I have tested with the Lollirock ROM. I am sure they also apply to the stock Nexus Player ROM since I was using some of them already before I flashed the Lollirock ROM.
Mouse pad = Touch Screen capabilities
OK+Mouse pad = same as above with drag-n-drop/screen drag
Mouse Pad / Directional switch = used interchangeably throughout depending on what app you are using. Directional mode is standard up/down/left/right movement with key press to select item. Mouse Pad mode is full screen "touch" capabilities, key press down to select. (remember to use the "OK" key for drag/drop functionality)
Left Windows Key = Google Now Search/Voice Search
Left Windows Key + Back <-- = Back/Minimize (every now and then this may not work and you have to mouse down to the on screen buttons)
FN+ESC = same functionality (more responsive)
FN+PC (power) = Screen Off (not a power off, any key press awakens the screen again)
FN + ie Explorer = Home Screen
FN + Music Key = Opens Music Player (Google Music)
stop, play/pause, fwd, bwd = Fully functional media keys when music is playing
Right Windows Button + spkr up/dn = System Volume up/down (also clicking on this window while open with mouse pad alows other volume/alert settings)
alt+spkr up/dn = same functionality as above
** The rechargeable battery life is amazing. I used this little guy the entire day with VERY heavy use and not once did it stutter. not sure how many days it can go without a charge. I just plug the charger back in to it at night when I am done.
Let me know if anyone else has been using the diNovo and has discovered any other key combinations that I have not listed above.
oh man, I have the 2.4 ghz version with the unifying receiver. I wonder if it will work via OTG . Used it with my Windows HTPC until I got the nexus player. Should've bought the bluetooth version.
And yes, the battery life is amazing, I was usually charging mine once a month.
update:
The 2.4 ghz Unify receiver version of this keyboard works Plug n Play as well.
Thank you so much for the detailed info!
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom, I will try to scout for a sh diNovo, maybe there are guys not using it and selling for a bargain.
The NP stock remote is quite limited and noisy at night for my taste and I was already thinking about a fire tv remote instead.
diNovo Mini is a top bluetooth keybord device
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom (Android 5) by Zulu99, after reading this topic I bought a good sh diNovo, for a bargain. All that chibluboy said about the functioning of the device is true. I also love how well this device pairs and works with Android. The really good thing is that it's so small and ergonomic! Battery life is a dream. For an older device this one rocks, no wonder it was expensive as new.

I have flashed the new Android 6 ROM developed again by Zulu99 for the Nexus Player. May he live long and prosper!
Logitech diNovo Mini works flawlessly with Android Marshmallow too. Bluetooth connection very stable with this excellent ROM. Since I have an amazon basics usb 3.0 hub attached to the Nexus Player, I have discovered that the bluetooth dongle supplied with the diNovo Mini is also working very well and maintains a stable connection.
I am using the Dinovo Edge which is essentially a larger keyboard version of the Mini. All the functions work exactly as described above. Thanks!
OTG cable?

im using the newest rca pro 10 tablet 620. ive tryied a usb mouse a usb airmouse and a bluetooth mouse. and a hdmi tv and hdmi monitor
they all work great intill i plug in hdmi (its not the cable ive tryied 3) the mouse pointer on the big screen barely moves and disappears wile moving. but in some apps the mouse moves fine. dosent work on the homescreen inless i have a live moving wall paper.
so it seems the mouse dosent work inless theres something moving on the screen, it works in firefox and google play for a few secounds but when the apps are completly loaded it stops. wile the mouse isent working on the external screen i can look at the tablet screen and see the mouse working normaly. oh and enabling pointer location in developer options fixes the problem but then i get all the lines etc so thats not a good thing as a fix
Any help would be great not even sure if I posted this in the right place.
Its very annoying
I was using my wireless Logitech desktop set but I noticed some lag after not using it for some seconds. When I keep using the mouse or keyboard there is no problem and everything works fine. But when I stop typing or stop mousing for longer than three seconds, the tablet doesn't recognize any input anymore. When I move the mouse or use the keyboard, nothing happens, but after two seconds any input is recognized again.
So I have to keep typing or else I have to wait some seconds to let the tablet recognize any input. This is unworkable.
I tested it with two desktop sets with two different Unifying receivers. When I use a corded mouse or keyboard, everything's fine. It seems to me that there is some sort of logitech standby mode which the tablet can't handle or something.
What can I do abaout this?
Added logcat of connecting usb, a freeze moment, and the disconnection. But I see nothing wrong there...

I bought an other Logitech Wireless mouse (standard receiver, no Unify) and that one works perfectly. So it looks like it has something to do with Unify, not wireless in particular.
Anyone?!
The Shield tablet has the same issue:

Maybe it has something to do with the Tegra K1?

It is really annoying. My Shield Tablet is fantastic, except for this issue with the keyboard/mouse. Sad panda.

And no solutions yet. Maybe a different kernel will work, but I like to keep my N9 stock (the first months hehehe)
Any solution?
Has there been any solution to this issue yet? I too am having the same problem.
Work Around
I have a work around that seems to fix this issue. For this to work you will need to be root. Also note that this solution will cause all USB devices to remain on at all times and will not survive a reboot. My experience is mostly with linux and very little with android. I expect someone should be able to modify the following script fairly easily for a more permanent solution.
Open your favorite terminal emulator and type the following four commands pressing enter after each:
su
for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control;
do echo on > $i;
done
This script toggles the power control setting for all usb devices from the auto state to always on. Hope this helps!
I have a slight lag with my logitech controller through USB OTG. It's just a split second lag, but it's there right from when you plug it in. Makes it unusable for gaming. No issues whatsoever with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard however.
I have a X10 MAX kingnovel android 9 tv box basically a generic s905x3 soc with 4gb ram and 32gb rom, any way specs aside it will not use the enter key and enter is set in keylayout to 28 key so no idea what i can do here and the question mark key is not working either backspace works fine and esc does not, it is a wireless usb microsoft wireless 3000 v2.0 model keyboard it won't detect as a hardware keyboard in settings for the keyboards to be chosen but it does function half functions any way without the enter it's what i deem half functional? It also forces me to use a on screen keyboard because of that to use enter with a mouse very very irritating.
It is rooted just checked that and also the other issue the mad catz mojo ctrl controller does not also work on bluetooth it causes bluetooth to lock up when paired and does not function if i switch it to the usb adaptor wchich is wifi i think? that works fine then but in say gta san andreas the pad is perfect yet use it in max payne also a rockstar game it won't work with the fire button or bullet time buttons all the turning and change weapon funtions are fine, dead trigger 2 maps alright to.
What i know as well is if i search in the browser address bar in some browsers and try the regular enter key on the keyboard it does not work yet using enter on the numpad will but not when using the main search bar in a google search only in the address bar any ideas how to resolve these issues please anyone thanks in advance
