How to connect keyboard, mouse or gamepad to Samsung projector

Last Update date : May 12. 2021

Pairing a mouse, a keyboard, or a gamepad will allow you to quickly and easily navigate menus and enter your passwords, searching for movies and shows. Some games and apps may also be compatible with a mouse and keyboard.

To add a USB mouse, keyboard, or gamepad, plug it into the USB port of the projector.

Select the device through the settings: From the Home screen Settings > General >  External Device Manager > Input Device Manager.

Note:

  • If you connect a mouse, it is available only in the Internet app and Remote Access function.
  •  XInput USB gamepads are supported. 
  • For more information, refer to Input Device in Connection Guide ( Source > Connection Guide > Input Device).
  1. Put the keyboard or mouse into Bluetooth pairing mode and make sure it is discoverable.

  2. Navigate to the Bluetooth device list on your projector and select the keyboard or mouse to pair with. Go to Settings > General > External Device Manager > Input Device Manager > Bluetooth Device List.

Note:

  • If your device was not detected, position the keyboard close to the Projector, and then select Refresh. The projector scans for available devices again.
  • If you connect a mouse, it is available only in the Internet app. For more information about how to connect a Bluetooth device, refer to the Bluetooth device's user manual

The key operation may differ depending on some apps or the keyboard.
