To connect a compatible mini wireless keyboard to your vSeeBox, install its batteries if needed, plug the matching USB receiver into an available USB port, and turn on the keyboard. Most keyboards using a supplied receiver connect automatically. If pairing is required, follow the keyboard’s manual.
Once connected, you can use the keyboard to enter text and navigate supported apps.
This guide covers keyboards that use a USB receiver. Bluetooth-only keyboards require their own pairing instructions.
What You Need
Before starting, have these items ready:
-
Your vSeeBox, turned on and connected to your TV.
-
A compatible mini wireless keyboard.
-
The USB receiver supplied with that keyboard.
-
Batteries, if required.
Keep your original vSeeBox remote nearby during setup.
How to Connect Your Mini Wireless Keyboard
1. Check the Keyboard’s Power
If the keyboard uses replaceable batteries, insert them according to the plus (+) and minus (–) markings inside the battery compartment.
For a rechargeable keyboard, follow its manual to make sure it has sufficient power.
2. Plug In the USB Receiver
Find the small USB receiver supplied with your keyboard.
Check the packaging first. Some keyboards store the receiver beneath the back cover.
Insert it into an available USB port on your vSeeBox.
3. Turn On the Keyboard
Use the power switch if your keyboard has one. Some models turn on when you press a key.
If the keyboard supports multiple connection modes, follow its manual to select the mode for its USB receiver.
4. Pair If Necessary
Most keyboards connect automatically to their supplied receivers.
If yours requires pairing, follow the instructions for that exact keyboard model. Pairing buttons and procedures can differ.
5. Test the Connection
Use your original remote to select a search field, then type a short word on the keyboard.
Next, try its navigation controls. If it has a touchpad, test pointer movement as well.
The controls available depend on the keyboard and the app you are using.
