MX3 Air Mouse suitable for Kodi with bluetooth? - Tnix - 2024-04-15
Hi all,
I'd like to buy a remote control for my PC Linux x64 with bluetooth running Kodi. I've seen several ones in AliExpress with the brand name like "MX3 Air Mouse" (for example: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005919680233.html). It carries a dongle and it claims that works in 2.4 GHz band. But it really doesn't mean it works with bluetooth. Also I ask for this information in AE but anybody answer me yet. I'd like to use it without the supplied dongle because my PC has all USB filled.
Has anybody got this remote control with Kodi? Does it work without supplied dongle with a PC with bluetooth?
Thanks in advance.

No, it don't.
I own this one and it's not a Bluetooth device. Wireless 2,4Ghz and Bluetooth are different things.

If you want to use this model, get an USB-Hub to have more slots.
It works great with Kodi on my Raspberry, but be aware, the letter printings on the keyboard aren't that persistent and are gone after some years now, all caps are just black now. Bit of a downer
