A:Answer Yes and no, kinda-sorta. The keyboard itself works fine, most of the "Smart TV" apps are not smart enough to use it effectively.
Example, some apps will let you type on the keyboard, esp. useful for entering passwords or search criteria. BUT ...
Some Smart TV and ROKU apps only support keyboard-ish by letting you use the arrow keys to move to a letter on the screen then press enter to select it (no real advantage over just using the TV remote). I bought the keyboard so I would NOT have to do it THAT way - so I could directly type in something & the app doesn't support that yet. Whether this is the case varies app by app, and even within some apps, but most seem to be like this. Some apps DO use the keyboard effectively, but so far they are rare.
So, the problem seems to be an app software design issue, NOT a keyboard issue. But, same result: in most cases I can not use the keyboard effectively. In a few rare cases I can.
