A Keyboard That Works With A Samsung OLED

Wellnessy

I bought a Rii K06 mini-keyboard for my Samsung Smart TV (Model QE55S90CAT, bought 2024). The bluetooth pairs but the alphanumeric keys don't work on the TV. The K06 works fine when paired to my desktop. 

The K06 was advertised as "widely compatible", so what are Samsung doing or not doing to stop it working with a TV that cost £1100? 

Has anyone succeeded in getting a bluetooth keyboard, preferably a mini one, to work with a recent Samsung OLED TV.   If so, which make and model and did you have to do anyhting special to get it to work?

All I want to do with the keyboard is speed up searching for programs on iPlayer and Netflix. Isn't that a lot less demanding on a Smart TV than, say, linking up two video-game players?

Neither Rii nor Samsung support helpful. Rii use email and answer faily promptly, but very short messages that have left me guessing. Samsung chat took over half an hour and still couldn't give me the name of a keybaord that would work. 

I even asked about the Samsung VG-KBD2500 keyboard and support declined to promise it would work.  Perhaps that's why this keyboard has an average 3 star rating on Samsung's own website?

Most peeps go with a keyboard that uses a USB dongle, bypassing the Bluetooth on TVs which generally only works for remote controls. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/logitech-k400-plus-wireless-keyboard-dark-grey-10135387.html

I have a Dell BT keyboard that works well with my 2024 Samsung TV.  I need to scroll around with the cursor keys to enter a field that can be typed in - but aside from that all good.  The likes of the Home key (Alt+F4) even works.
