How To Scroll With Android TV Box Remote

[Gandalf1955]

I have a GKG T95 android TV box and found that a lot of my applications require me to scroll up and down various menu screens in order to choose the right one. I have a football one for example that requires me to choose which league I want to look at and then offers me a listing of the various fixtures and streams to scroll through.

Most android box remotes have a "mouse mode" which is required to access these menus as with some apps they do not recognise the normal Dpad directional buttons. The problem is that this mode is purely a point and click interface and does not allow for a scrolling functionality.

I have spent much time trying to resolve this frustrating problem and then I came across an instructional video on You Tube and it works !!!

Here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqM9I-sEkXE

Please ensure that you do the actions in the exact order as described. I assigned the toggle to my numeric 8 button on my remote. Press once for mouse mode, once again for scrolling, press again to return to mouse mode or long press to remove the toggle.

It is superb and I now have no need for using the 'mouse' button on my remote.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

Thanks for the tip! I moved this to the Android TV forum for more specific traffic.

I was looking exactly for this - that my cheapo Chinese box doesn't let me scroll. But viewing the video in your link, I see that I have to do quite a bit of scrolling in order to install this! Could be difficult!
