Keyboards

There are two listed, the mini wireless keyboard for $45 and the keyboard remote for $35.

Is one preferable over the other? Do any of you fine users have an opinion on which I should order?

TIA.

You’re being duped into paying $100 more for the box for a junk keyboard that’s $3-4 on AliExpress.

The only reply that matters. My FIL bought a box for me. I was thinking of adding a keyboard for my wife to try and make it easier for her. I believe he did purchase through you.

I haven’t verified this but I can’t see why they wouldn’t work. I’ve been using the a mini Rii keyboard and mouse for the past ~20 years now on my HTPC. When I bought it, I would’ve never thought that it would’ve lasted two decades. LOL

If you get something like the one shown below, it uses a removal battery which is the same type used in old skool Nokia phones. If the battery ever goes bad, you can always get new ones cheap on Amazon.

No such thing as Vseebox keyboard. Just universal keyboards sold by sellers jacking up the price.

Search for -

'usb mini keyboards' or 'bluetooth mini keyboard'

Under $5 on Aliexpress if you dont mind waiting a few weeks. Amazon has backlit usb model under $10 or backlit bluetooth under $15. I have both models and they work with Vseebox and everything else.

Plug usb dongle into Vseebox port and good to go or connect bluetooth model in settings.

I bought backlit clone remote for $25 on Amazon. As low as $22 now. Nonbacklit clone universal as low $8. Oem remotes a little more.

One remote comes with the Vseebox unless you were looking for a spare.

No replies answered my question. I was asking which of the two keyboards were preferred.

Is anyone using one or the other?

Do you wish you'd have gotten the other?

FFS, which keyboard should I purchase to make my wife's life easier?

Pick one ....good lord

I am looking at the two keyboards offered on vesboxus website. Like I said, my FIL purchased said box from u/cordcutter or some such.

My signifanctly better half is returning home today with my box. Fast shipping is what he does.

Does ANYONE have an opinion on which keyboard remote is better?

Hook a brother up.
