For a Android media device like the G-Box MX2, would a wireless keyboard with mouse pad be a better controller choice?

Yes!!! But if you don't need to spend that kind of money!!!! This device work just as fine & it small & compact easy to use!!

Not unless you watch TV with a flat surface nearby. A keyboard with a roll ball or touch pad would be a better choice.

Yes. The remote has a lag issue, and is not very accurate. I find myself using the remote more often and only use it for the keyboard

I just got the Logitech K400 and it seems to work OK. I chose that one because it has a built in touch pad. I think almost any wireless USB keyboard will work

I use a USB hub, and a wireless mouse and keyboard. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work, but I am not sure if a combined USB unit such as those sold by Microsoft. I use a Wii keyboard made by Logitech, we had, and it works. I use a Microsoft laptop mose. Again, I had it and it worked. I did not have to install anything; they just worked. It does have Bluetooth capacity, but I have never tried it for a keyboard and the like. Other Android devices have worked out of the box. I think it should work that way as well.

I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

It's only helpful if you use the smart tv like browser, etc.. If you plan on using the browser getting an integrated mousepad/keyboad combo is a must. I picked up the Logitech K400r which has a nice mousepad and does a good job..

Currently I use a Logitech wired keyboard that works great. I'm looking at getting the Logitech wireless K400 which others have said works for the Pi.

you can use a combo wireless keyboard and mouse and you will be fine, however I won't be at this point purchase this model any more because there are others on the market with better and bigger ROM, the more ROM the more programs can be hold on memory to run at any giving time.

Yes, you can use a USB mouse and keyboard. You can also purchase model CB1-010 for $20 more that includes a wireless keyboard (with keys for Chrome) and wireless mouse. I'm not sure I understand your question about Google Play. To use the Chromebox you do need a Google Account (which is free) in order to take advantage of many features like mail and calendar integration, but you can also use as a guest by clicking "Browse as a Guest."

I don't use the mouse portion of this combo but I don't recommend the keyboard. Even with clear line of sight to the USB adapter, the keyboard needs constant adjustment to stay connected.

Yes, you are absolutely right. My biggest problem was to reach too far for a mouse. So I brought Touchpads--Cirque Smart Cat Pro, USB (Black)Code: PD019SPU-blk and put it (with tap) in top middle of this keyboard. It does not look that good but it worked well for me.

I found using a USB keyboard to be easiest, but you can also click in the box and the on-screen keyboard will pop-up and then hit the red button on the remote for the mouse. use that to select the keys. a little time consuming.

No. There is noticeable Bluetooth latency with this keyboard. Great for media centers, terrible for high action gaming.

It will work, but the special keys are marked for Android. You might see some odd behavior. The mouse is fine with Windows.

I am currently using it on a Matricom G-Box Midnight edition, which looks like a Apple tv box and runs a Android Jelly Bean O/S.

Some of the "Android" buttons (menu/back/home/search) probably will not work but since Surface has bluetooth you should be able to use the keyboard and even the mouse/cursor control

I have an inexpensive($8.00) Logitech M215 wireless. Works just fine for most applications, the touch pad is okay. I just adjusted the settings until I felt comfortable with it. The keyboard is pretty close to fullsize (minus the number pad).
