    Thanks so much for sharing this information. I've been reading a lot about the many changes Firestick is doing. They won't be happy until they lose every customer they have. Thanks again.

    When you said the keyboard doesn't have a back button, did you mean a "delete back button" or a general back button that is found on the remote, as I have a back delete button on my Samsung phone.

      I bought a cheap Bluetooth mouse from Amazon and connected it via "Bluetooth & other devices" in the settings menu.
      It's much smoother and more responsive than the mouse toggle app and you are not restricted by any cables.
      Note: Make sure that you get a B/Tooth mouse and not one of the wireless RF ones that come with a dongle.

    This seems to be a complete contradiction in actions. This is a great update for copying and pasting long logins with mixtures of upper case lower case and special characters. A great time saver. But they're also clamping down on the apps from unknown sources that'll use this feature. 🤷‍♂️
