  • 3 Ways to Connect a Keyboard to the Fire Stick or Fire TV
    Typing using the Fire Sticks included remote is pretty slow and tedious, because of that many people decide to use a keyboard instead.
    Some of you might not know how to setup a keyboard to work with your firestick, so today I show you 3 options that you have for getting a keyboard all setup and functional. I even show you how to use your smartphone as a keyboard!
    Enjoy!

      I have both of these products 😁. How do I now add the Amazon ethernet? Now having issues with making both work at the same time 😔. It's either one or the other that work when changing the connecting order 😭. Anyone?

    HI, I have a Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard which I have paired with the Amazon Fire Stick Lite.
    The problem is, the Fire Stick displays a box of A - Z alphabet letters and numbers. I would prefer to operate all typing etc with only the QWERTY keyboard, just like with a PC. Are there any internal settings which would allow me to switch the 'letters box' off altogether, please? Guide me to the necessary.

I ordered that cable you suggested and hope it can let me use the keyboard ... it was my christmas present from my family

My stick is coming tonight, Amazon's 4K fire stick. I'm going to watch the rest of your video. The one I bought is 3rd generation, maybe the technology has gotten better ?

    I have a new Insignia 55 inch Amazon fire TV. I also purchased a logitech k830 TV keyboard. I went through the blue tooth pairing steps - the keyboard was recognized and I was given the notice “device connected” indicting that the key board k830 was now connected. however! When I used any key or the touch pad on the keyboard “nothing” happened! I tried in several of the input locations on the TV and the keys tried did not show anything or movements within the TV screen. What is it I am not understanding on how this is supposed to work?
