In the last article we connected ours, and in this manual 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 a mouse, you can't really work in it either. You can still control the system itself with the remote control, but typing is a torment. And with a mouse it is much more convenient and faster to work with Smart TV, and not only on LG TVs.

Of course, if you have a proprietary LG Magic Remote, then it saves the situation a little, although typing with it is not very convenient. Therefore, if you are actively using 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 don't seem to have any major problems supporting these devices. Everything works like a clock.

I will show using the Rapoo 3710p keyboard and mouse as an example. We will connect all this stuff to the LG 32LN575U TV. The model is still 2013. I think that on newer TVs there should be no problems. Again, there will be an opportunity, I will try to connect to a newer TV. In addition to the Rapoo mouse, I also tried to connect an Asus mouse. Everything worked great. Everything is fine with wired devices.

We connect the mouse and keyboard to the LG TV

Everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. We take the adapter from the mouse, or keyboard, or both (as in my case) and connect them to the USB connector of our TV.

At this moment, messages should appear on the TV that new devices are connected. These messages disappear very quickly from the screen.

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 operation of the keyboard in the browser. Or, for example, when searching for a video on YouTube.

I think it's not a secret for anyone that modern TVs with Smart TV function support the connection of conventional computer mice and keyboards. In order to be able to control the built-in browser, games and other applications. The very 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, since I don’t have a Mystery TV.

And to demonstrate the work of a wired keyboard and wireless mouse, I will use the example of the LG 32LN575U TV with Smart TV function. I have a wireless mouse Rapoo 3710p (I also tried to connect a wired one). And a wired USB keyboard from A4Tech.

You know, I’ll tell you that to control Smart TV, there is a browser and other programs, just one mouse is enough. What is the keyboard for what, to enter text, there are some search queries and so on. You will not print any documents on the TV. So, it is also very convenient to do this with a mouse, on the 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 smart waste of money. Better buy a good wireless mouse.

Everything is very simple. We take a cable, or an 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 ports on the side. Like this:

Messages about connecting devices should immediately appear on the TV:

And the message about connecting the mouse:

Immediately after connecting the mouse, you can control the cursor. The controls are smooth, I liked it. Like on a computer, the pages in the browser can be scrolled with a roller.

I don't know if someone will need it, 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 function keys on the keyboard, which are responsible for turning off and adjusting the sound, were active and working. I certainly didn't expect that.

Everything works and is quite convenient to use. As I wrote above, the keyboard is not really needed, at least for me. It is convenient to even type text with a mouse. Good luck!

The pace of development household appliances boggle the imagination. A conventional TV gradually integrates with everything big amount functions. If you wish, then instead of the usual one, you can buy with a built-in smart TV system. Or purchase it separately and connect it to the TV, which will significantly expand the functionality of your "favorite".

Why is this

Using your mouse, you can:

• it is much easier to "communicate" with the TV in the usual manner - with the "mouse" it is much easier than figuring out a bunch of buttons on the remote control;
• move faster through the menu, as well as 100% use the capabilities of the Internet browser.

For normal handling of your "window to the world", you need a keyboard and mouse. There is simply no other method to adequately use all the capabilities of a web browser. And a problem arises - how to connect it?

Of course, there are plenty of ports on the side of the device. But sometimes, just plugging in the mouse connector doesn't help. After joining, it may simply not be detected by the system. And a reasonable question arises - what to do?

So how do you do it?

First of all, let's get back to the instructions. It should clearly state which trademarks should be compatible with this device. Usually, it is enough to install the gadget of the specified manufacturer and the problem is solved. First of all, you need to look for models of the same manufacturer for this particular smart TV system. It is quite possible that the model will be in the same point of sale where you purchased your TV or set-top box.

But it also happens that there is no "native" mouse, but alternative device still not found. For example, TV in 2012 does not see previously released devices. In this case, you will either have to be patient and sort out different manufacturers, or look new firmware for your TV. Perhaps it will fit and wireless model... An excellent option would be to contact a store or service center of this brand so that they can help you find a working device that is compatible with your TV. After all, they should already have sufficient experience with such situations.
