Can I connect a wireless mouse and keyboard to an NVidia Shield Pro. I have a Red Thunder wireless keyboard and mouse and would like to use it with my NVidia Shield Pro for gaming. ---

Go to your Shield settings\>remote & accessories\>add Bluetooth accessories. ---

If it’s a bluetooth device do as powerfader suggested, if it has a dongle plug it into a usb port. ---

Thank you for your response Jax2. Thanks to Powerfader again. I don’t think this combo is bluetooth enabled but it does come with a dongle. I have plugged the dongle into either of the USB ports and the items seem to function even though they don’t say that they are paired with the Shield. I seem to be able to use the mouse but when I come to touch any of the keys on the keyboard it totally powers off the Shield. This can only be restored by turning the power off & on to the Shield. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. ---

You might want to consider this approach, too. [NVIDIA SHIELD TV - Apps on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.shield.remote&hl=en_US&gl=US) Also, you can try and go to settings\>Device Preferences\>Keyboard & Autofill\>Manage Keyboards Also, check in 'Physical keyboard ---

That’s very odd indeed. I have a wireless keyboard that uses a dongle on my shield. It may have to do with the USB port settings on your Shield, as mine works perfectly. I’ll have a closer look tomorrow, ans see what my settings are. ---

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback to my query. Just for information in case anyone else investigates this issue, I contacted NVidia Shield and they informed me that the RedThunder K10 was not compatible with android devices. I still haven’t been able to see anything which specifically states this is the case. I have written to RedThunder but so far not received a reply.
