    I can confirm as well, Logitech K400 and K400r work without any problem. In case you've wondered, NO, there is no major difference between the K400 and K400r except a few changes on some extra keys (K400 has sound buttons, K400r has Home button instead)

    There are small annoyances however, though i think they're not device related.

    -As we all know, Right Click is Back Button.
    -From the edge of the Right swiping to left seems to be a gesture and activates the People app.
    -Some Apps (facebook, even though it is a phone app) wont recognize Enter as the main button behind "Send", but Enter does not work anywhere to be honest, whether you change a setting or anything, enter does do sh!t except text.
    -Touch sensitivity is way to harsh. if you have more then 3 home screens you are going to suffer. the two finger scroll doesnt is buggy and even if moving horizontally, it will move your screen (note: vertical scrolling is actually the normal mode to move around horizontal pages with it...)

    and yea, short cuts, i may not have the right click option, but on most systems, you can hold CTRL and click anywhere on the browser, it will open the link on a new tab, but thats not the case in Android .

    As i said, minor annoyances, some dont feel 'em, some cant live with 'em .

      Is pinch to zoom possible on either the K400 or the K700?

        Yes I do, it plays nicely with XBMC and along with XBMC Constellation (iPad) it does every I need.

        I tried using the Measy RC9 Mini Air Mouse but it doesn't have enough buttons to control Android effectively

        I have a couple of these, and after a couple of uses, they are now just sitting there attached to various unused Android Mini Sticks etc.

        I've been using my Minix X7 as a media/entertainment centre for a few weeks now, and I find for watching TV that I use mainly use the remote that came with it. It works great with XBMC.

        I also bought the Measy RC9 Mini Air Mouse when I ordered it, but find I don't use this at all. In fact, when I tried to use the air-mouse, my mate couldn't stop laughing at me. It's been in a box since.

        I also have wireless keyboard & mouse tucked away for those times you need to configure etc, but rarely need to use these.

        What I am currently looking for is a decent game controller for it, so I can play emulators and android games when I feel like it. Even better would be one that needs no configuring in /dev

            Bluetooth? I was only able to connect / use it using USB.
            If you did it via Bluetooth, please share how you did it.

                Have you or anyone else been able to get the ps3 bluray remote to work?

                It will be great if it can be used with xbmc or Netflix.

                I don't know how to try, just tried to discover it and nothing came up.
