hi everyone

we have just purchased a new smart tv, can anyone recommend a wireless keyboard with built in touchpad to use with the tv, the tv is a panasonic if that helps.

Do you need it specifically for typing or is it to use for looking things up, such as You Tube? We have a Panasonic TV and it came with 2 remotes, the usual one and an additional one which is voice activated so you can just ask it to search, e.g "search for Tim Tracker".
May be worth seeing if you can get one for your TV as its really handy and a lot easier than trying to type in what you want on the screen with the larger remote.

For our main TV, I rarely use it, but I have a Mac Bluetooth keyboard I have paired up.

Rarely use the voice control on the smart remote either, although it does work well - if wanting something off YouTube on the TV I just use my phone and press the symbol to send to TV which launches the YouTube app and plays. Can do this too with Netflix should I be browsing it on my phone and want to watch something on the TV.

This works fine on our main (Samsung) and bedroom (Toshiba) smart TV�s.
