Which keyboard/mouse is compatible with Q5?

[uptown47]

Hi all

I've ordered a Q5 (not arrived yet) and was thinking of getting an 'air mouse/keyboard' type device to help control it?

Somebody told me this is necessary to get the 'right click' functionality in order to add things to favourites etc?

I have the Logitech Harmony remote at the moment.

My question is... will the Logitech Harmony do everything I need or is it better to invest in an air mouse/keyboard device, and, if so, which one(s) are compatible/recommended by other Q5 / Q10 users?

Thanks for any help you can give me, it's much appreciated.

Harmony does work well with the Q5-10, However an air-mouse is your best choice, Here are my 2 favorite models


Probox Remote+ http://www.amazon.com/PROBOX2-Remote-Wireless-Controller-G-Sensor/dp/B00NAUMOMO

This model is simple and works perfectly, Has built in MIC and tales 2 AAA Batteries   CON > NO kEYBOARD

Mele F10 Deluxe   http://www.amazon.com/F10-G-sensor-Gyroscope-Learning-Raspberry/dp/B00LTG8CKO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1447419340&sr=1-1&keywords=mele+f10+deluxe

This remote has built in rechargeable Li Ion Battery  ( Not Easily Serviceable )


For me the best one I ever owned is the Remote+ fantastic for Kodi and Game Emulators like SNES, But if you need the keyboard I would go with the F10 Deluxe, I don't have a problem using the on screen keyboard with the Remote+


Hope this helps.

Derek.

If a trackpad is OK then I'd recommend Rii Mini i8+: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rii-Wireless-Keyboard-Rechargable-Raspberry/dp/B00IXCQRD6

Can the himedia be switched off by any of these remotes power button?

Can the himedia be switched off by any of these remotes power button?

No. Himedia has proper on/off, not standby. So the only way to turn it on/off is by IR remote or the button on front of box.
