I can confirm that this keyboard works perfectly on the Sony Bra via XBR-65A9F OLED Android TV. Long story short, when you try to use a third party TV remote control that uses a USB dongle, the TV thinks that you have plugged in a keyboard, thus it deactivates the GBoard on screen keyboard (this happened after the Oreo update). I chatted with Sony Chat Tech Support, and they suggested I uninstall the GBoard update (didn’t work) or use the Lean Back keyboard (not available anymore since GBoard replaced it). I found this in the Play Store, installed it, and everything works perfectly now. Yay! Thank you LiskovSoft for making this as you made my TV work perfectly again with the third party Android remote :-). Kudos guys!

Best one for Nvidia shield, works with air mouse mode of remote controls. Others don't, including Nvidia default keyboard, only work with 4 direction buttons.

Thanks so much for making this! It seems ridiculous that it isn't possible
to get an on-screen keyboard up without installing a 3rd party app but that
is the case... My box is running 8.1 it's not like it's old. Anyway this
does the job 💪

In my Panasonic Android TV, the remote control stopped working on the on-screen keyboard after I connected a Bluetooth keyboard. As I read in several forums, this is common problem with most Android TVs irrespective of brand, without solution. I then tried installing this keyboard app and not only this is simple & better but solved the issue. I can now again use both Remote Control & Bluetooth keyboard for the on-screen typing. Highly recommended for Android TV.

This app is so bad it can even do what It's supposed to. Its really bad even with external controllers where the letter input selector doesn't even go to the left side and sometimes goes straight out of my screen. Although It's not even designed for touch It's still bad there too. Deserved 1 star

Broken on galaxy s26. Touch inputs are off from where you press and half the keyboard is missing in vertical mode. Works great with a game pad though
