What a keyboard is good for
Arrow keys move, Enter selects and Esc goes back. Typing works in search boxes, sign-in screens and browsers. If typing is all you want, your phone already does it: select a text field on the Fire TV and open the keyboard in the remote app.
When you need a mouse
Fire TV’s own menus and apps from Amazon’s store are built for a remote and need no pointer. A mouse matters for apps made for touchscreens and installed from outside the store, where the remote cannot reach some buttons. A paired Bluetooth mouse shows a cursor in those apps.
The older “Mouse Toggle” apps that faked a cursor with the remote are unreliable on current Fire OS versions. A real Bluetooth mouse is the dependable route.
USB keyboards and mice
A Fire TV Cube and Fire TV smart TVs have USB ports. A Fire TV Stick has only its power port, so a USB device needs an OTG adapter cable, and support varies by model. Bluetooth is simpler.
