I have already mentioned earlier that read the review of each device including the pros and cons. In this way, you can choose a suitable device for you in no time. Although if you want my suggestions then just skip everything and read the last conclusion instead.
Ok, so let’s check out the list of these keyboards to make your life easy:
Rii Mini Wireless Bluetooth Touchpad Keyboard
The first and the very best wireless keyboard that I would suggest you go with is the Rii Mini. It is because this keyboard is quite easy to use and unlike others, this is not huge in size. Because of its small size, it makes it comfortable to use along with fireTV devices.
Talking about the features the Rii Mini comes with the QWERTY keys layout along with the backlit. Even though it has a built-in touchpad so you can use it for apps that support a touch interface Furthermore it supports various other platforms like Raspberry Pi, Windows, Mac, Roku, and several other devices.
Pros
- Comes with a QWERTY Keys layout.
- It has backlit keypads.

- It can be used from a 15-meter distance.
- Comes with 1 year of replacement warranty.
- It comes in 4 different colours
Cons
- Sometimes trackpad won’t work
Fosmon Mini Bluetooth Keyboard
Now talking about another best mini keyboard is the Fosmon that comes with some extra cool features. The size of this keyboard is around 6.25 inches which makes it pretty easy to use even with one hand and you can also carry it while travelling. Just like Rii it also comes with the QWERTY layout and also has a backlit for using it at night.
Even it has some extra features like charging, Bluetooth, and battery indicator lights that make it easy to find when the battery runs low. You will also find volume keys up and down keys, search keys and some other keys so you don’t need a remote anymore. However, you can use it for 7 days with a single charge continuously or else 40 days on standby.

iPazzPort Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
If you are thinking to buy a keyboard for gaming purposes then iPazzPort is the best choice that you should go with. It has a total size of 8.4 inches which is quite big compared to others but it can be still operated easily because of its layout. Just like Fosmon it also comes with some shortcut keys like Brightness, Home, Search, Volume keys and even media playbacks.
It also comes with a touchpad to use the mouse cursor however it doesn’t offer tap features on it but you will be required to use the keys on the left-hand side. This makes it quite awkward because using the right and left clicks will be difficult for some people. Furthermore, it would be the best option if you are going to play games as it supports Xbox One, PS4 and other consoles as well.

- Battery backup is not good and it became worst when using backlit.
Rii K12+ Mini Wireless Keyboard
This is another best product from the Rii company and just like the Rii i8 keyboard that we mentioned earlier, it is also one of the best and easy to use. The design of this product is simply awesome as you will get the QWERTY keys on the left side while the touchpad is on the right. Even though it supports double tap features on a touchpad if you don’t want to use the keys.
If we talk about battery backup then it provides you with a great backup as it has auto sleep features that will be enabled when you don’t use this keyboard. Instead of this, it supports 40 feet of the range where you can operate it without any issue. No matter if you are using it behind couches or behind any object, this will work like always.

It is because this keyboard offers 180,000+ colours that you can choose for the backlit and also has 3 different options for RGB. You can customize its colour whenever you want and whatever you want within a few seconds.
It also has a touchpad that works similar to the Rii i8+ and provides good durability and fast response. With this product, you will give a USB dongle that you need to insert into the USB port on the TV to make this product workable.
After using this dongle you will notice the difference and it will work even smoother than before. It works best with Firestick and is mainly designed to use Kodi Media Player and also works with other platforms like Windows, Mac, Android Phone, Raspberry Pi and so on.

Why Use Bluetooth or Wireless Keyboard for Firestick
Before we move to the review section you may be wondering why most people prefer to use a keyboard on a TV. Well! In that case, you should read the list of some common reasons to learn why it is necessary to use it instead of a remote.
Easy Typing
The first thing why people prefer the keyboard over a Remote is fast typing because with the remote it is quite difficult to write the name of the movie.
Even if you have Alexa enabled remote but still many people can’t pronounce some words and Alexa is quite dumb in this situation.
Mouse Cursor
Instead of just typing there are several applications that required a touch device and won’t work on a TV for instance HBO Max. This app is released only for touch devices and it doesn’t support the remote layout even if you install it from a 3rd-party source.
At this point using a combo keyboard with a mouse cursor you can easily go to any option and then open any movie or TV show there. However, there is still an app called Mouse Toggle available for FireTV that creates a mouse cursor but it is still incompatible and also consumes some of the RAM.
Play Games
Firestick is not just a streaming device to watch movies, TV shows, or Live TV but you can also use it to play several games. It supports many games like Flappy Birds, Asphalt 6, Temple Run, and a lot more so if you are a gaming type person then this is the best option for you.
However many games are compatible with the remote control but some of them require a touch device. At this time if you don’t have a touch device you won’t be able to play it. But with a keyboard, you can easily play all sorts of games on a bigger screen.
Conclusion
These are some best Bluetooth keyboards for Firestick that you can use to play your favourite games, type anything faster and use touch-based apps easily. Although every product has its own features like if one keyboard provides the best battery backup then others provide a good range and some additional features.
Read the review of every product that is listed in this article and you will be able to find the right choice for you in no time. However, if I suggest you then I would recommend going with the Rii i8+ mini wireless keyboard.
It is because the battery backup is quite amazing and also the long-range, even though it has a smaller design along with touchpad and double-tap features. Even though the price of the Rii Mini i8 is also affordable so you make sure to give this one a try.
