H96 Dongle question

[fattest]

Hi, I'm considering buying the H96 dongle for one of my TVs which is wall mounted and doesn't have a shelf/TV unit for placing components, making the box unsuitable. I noticed that the dongle does not include a remote, but does have bluetooth built in. Does that mean in order to control the device, I would need to purchase a bluetooth remote separately? How is the dongle controlled otherwise, is there an android app I could install on my phone to pair with the dongle?

TIA

Not sure if there are any good BT remotes, but You can buy a 2,4 GHz air mouse with USB receiver. I use one, it's better than original remote, as it has air mouse support and full QWERTY keyboard on the back.

Thanks for the suggestion, but how would the USB receiver connect to the dongle? There's only a microUSB connector which is used to power the dongle.

This one?

Or this one:

Both have 2 full sized USB ports on the other side from HDMI plug.

If I'm right there is H2 dongle as well, but it looks same as this 2 (same like with the Box - from the outside they are same, but there are changes in the inside).

Ah I didn't look at the picture close enough, and didn't read the specs carefully Indeed there is 1xUSB host and 1x USB OTG per the specs, so I can use my Rii i8+ remote with this dongle. Thanks!
