I recommend getting the Unified Logitech KB and Mouse. Like MK270. I use a wireless mouse, but every wireless mouse I've tried works fine on my MK808B. If you get the stick that has bluetooth then you can use a bluetooth mouse and they usually have better range.
I purchased my MK808B from Geekbuying and they sell the real deal and they even get the manufacturer to update the firmwares. Best spot to buy Android Sticks, great prices, lots of support and NO FAKES. Even the fakes are getting decent support. If you can find benchmarks you can compare them to the MK808B on my blog I have lots of scores posted
tabletuser.blogspot.com
yes just like mk270, my logitech kbd+mouse set also uses the same dongle..... its a combo set using 1 common dongle..... so those droid sticks detect those logitech dongles... wat a relief
geekbuying doesnt support my country's currency + international shipping will take forever + probably import duty & customs & octroi
the ebay sellers in my country r giving "1year replacement guarantee" ....tats un-heard-of with such items also i'll get item in 2days... am bad @waiting
the more am reading, the more am worrying bout clone... damn it... chinese copying chinese... wat irony!!!
---------------
can som1 confirm....
minix G4 is the ONLY stick who's processor goes upto 1.6gig right...... from wat i read, every1 else is max out @ 1.2gig ???? aint there any1 else who utilizes the full spectrum???? (without 3rd party FW/mod)
--------
tnx cesar, will definitely look into yr blog... i dont trust chini items, so wanna do full research b4 buying
MK808B runs dualcore 1608Mhz RK3066

MK808B runs at dual core 1608mhz (same RK3066 processor), latest firmware is a bybrid of Finless 1.7A and Minix.
http://tabletuser.blogspot.com/2013/04/firmware-upgrade-mk808b-to-minix-hybryd.html LINK
Factory firmware is a little slower than custom firmware, but it was very stable. Latest firmware 4.2.2 is much slower than 4.1.1 on this device, but still very stable. Have comparison on my blog.
Good luck finding a non clone on ebay.
Try this

Almost all of the wireless KB/MS combos I've used on these sticks work. Haven't come across one that hasn't worked yet. Also would recommend this http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/Wireless-touch-keyboard-k400r baord as it works perfectly for these sticks.
Tnx ppl. Much appreciate yr feedbacks
Never been into wireless keyboard and mouse, but i just bought mk809ii and went on the search. was originally going to look for bluetooth one, but found the k400r like previously mentioned nicer for less money. I love it and it works right out of the box, no setup at all.

I actually bought the Minix Neo X5 and really liked it.......Until I found out the Minix Neo X7 is coming out sometime in July. Since that device is going to be quad core I wanted to "future proof" my purchase by returning the x5 and wait to see how well the x7 reviews.
My 2nd choice would be the the Tronsmart 428 ( I think that is the number)......It is quad core also......What I liked about the Minix was a lot of input options......on the other hand a stick would be portable enough to take on the road. Decisions! Decisions!
The devices you mentioned do come with bluetooth.
Not an Apple guy but I am 99% sure the Apple Bluetooth will connect.

You sould wait a little bit to see the minix x7 when is going to be out otherwise go on with the Minix Neo GX5
I want to get an Android Stick in the next day or so and wanted to know what you guys would currently recommend?
Seems to be that these 3 are very good ones, have good reviews and are sold on Amazon. I listed them in order of how I was thinking about going.
1. Tronsmart MK908 II
2. Tronsmart T428
3. Tronsmart CX919
Or is there something else out there that is better.
Basically want something for general Android use. Internet, Gaming, light Productivity.
I have an OUYA, Gamestick, Nexus 7' iPads. So that might give you an idea.
I know how to do very basic hacking. Rooting and what not, but would love to have all of it pre done if possible.
Any help and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
No one has any thoughts? I would like to try and order something today. Leaning towards the MK908 II. Seems fast and responsive. Wifi and Bluetooth are better, comes rooted, and has both a 720p and 1080p kernel.

how much are they roughly?
I see the recommendation for the mk908ii but can it play 1080 in XBMC? I would rather a amlogic than a rockchip based one if XBMC is the main purpose.
I would like to know if they support;
VPN
Bluetooth keyboards
Adobe Flash
DLNA
Gamepads usb and bluetooh
Zattoo player
Cameras for Google Hangouts
One more thing how often they upgrade the firmware, is it planned to have android kitkat on them?
Thanks a lot.

Well yes to all, if not, a custom rom will support it.
I doubt they will get official update to 4.4, no doubt at some point a custom rom will support.
I brought a mk908 v1 for the prospect of running a full linux distro on it and having a far more powerful raspberry pi. While ive got ubuntu running with all the trimmings, still lack hardware acceleration 2d & 3d. Also missing vpu acceleration so only software decoded video, but for reference with this is still powerful enough to soft-decode a 720p bluray smoothly. hwa will be here soon though.
Under android with a custom rom/ kernel i got 20,000 in antutu which blew me away. Defiantly impressed by the rk3188 soc.
Thanks a lot!!!
And what about the MiniX NEOX7 deserves to pay more money for it compare to the normal sticks we talked in here?

I bought a Minix Neo X7 for my parents mainly for Skype. Unfortunately, atleast with the current 006c firmware, Skype or Hangouts doesn't work. Checkout minixforums.com. There seem to be quite a few issues with video playback & camera support. I cannot say anything personally because I couldn't try the device myself (I am not at home). Hopefully, the new firmware that is expected to come out in November will have the issues fixed. Otherwise, I am afraid it will turn into a paper weight for me.
So considering all options... would you think that Tronsmart MK908 II is the best option available?
I want to buy it as a christmas present for a couple of people and me

If that questions was meant for me, sorry. I don't have much knowledge about these devices to make a recommendation. SomeCoolTech in YouTube has done reviews for some of these. May be you can check that out. Unfortunately, his review praised Neo X7 as well. So, I would be cautious in making any purchase decisions solely based on those videos. Keep in mind that we (my parents) didn't try any video playback with X7. I was disappointed with it because of the video chat issues. From what I understand, Minix X5 doesn't have those kind of camera issues, so I am hoping it will be fixed in the next firmware update.
Hi all,
Newbie here. Looking for some advice. I can't decide which watch to purchase between the following: U8, U8 Pro, U10 or the ZGPAX S8.
New to these smartwatches hence can't make mind up. Any help appreciated.:good:
Anyone?
what do you want to use it for?
standalone?
companion?
notifications?
pedometer?
etc...
i myself would never buy any of the u8/u10 watches, it's near impossible to get support for them
and with the recent discovery of clones of these crappy watches....
no experience with zgpax, so can't really advice you on any of the mentioned watches

Thanks for your reply. I would be looking to use it for standalone, companion, notifications. Are there any other watches you recommend?
Moto 360 is my suggestion.
Other smartwatchs
Why the zgpax s8? zgpax s5 can have a upgradeable battery from the 500mah it comes with to a 700mah.
The z watch by smartq works great to both run Android either 4.3 or 4.4
But the u8,u8 Pro and u10 are all about the same and they are cheap in quality and price wise, so I wouldn't buy them either.
and it all still depends on your price range as well z watch is between $75-120, while the zgpax s5, s6, and s8 range from $120 to $160 but all of them have a lot of support threads on here. I think the zgpax s5 has its own big thread with daily posts.
Well, I have the s8. don't know If you're still looking but I'm loving it. I spent $180 for mine. I'm rooted and preset the watch to 4.4.4.... So all my apps can upgrade. Now I have Google now cards with Nova launcher and use nils notifier with android L cards.

Hello my Friends,
i am want to buy an smartwatch. My maximum Price is 350€ (or round about 400 Dollars).
I dont now wich one i should buy. I want an large, round (!) OLED Display, good Hardware, Google Assistant and circa one day runtime. IP68 (or better) and ROM possibility would be very nice but it is not necessery. I want an Android Wear/Wear OS (2.0) Watch, no Tizen (i have a old V700 and i haved learned to hate Samsungs own Apps and OS, sorry about that, but i am a "Googleguy" ). Okay if you think Tizen is much better than Wear OS then let me now and why. We can talk about everythink. I have looked much on the internet, The Ticwatch Pro is my first choise, but eventually you have a better one? Let me know what you think is the best Smartwatch to buy in 2018. Greets from Germany and sorry for my bad Englisch.
I just got the Ticwatch Pro and am enjoying it so much. The only issue I could find is ROM support, since it doesn't look like a popular choice (yet).
I also just got the TicWatch Pro. Right now it's an Amazon PRIME exclusive and I believe sometime next month it's generally available to any Amazon user. It's only been available for a week or so, so hopefully we'll see some development for it in the coming weeks/months.
