Question

Can you attach a wireless mouse to a smart Samsung TV?

Dec 5, 2014 8:03AM PST

Just bought a Samsung 40 inch smart TV. Love internet connection but using the Hershey bar remote control to enter letters is a real pain. There is a USB port on the back of the TV. Can it be used for a wireless mouse?
Thanks

Samsung's code for YES is the phrase "USB HID" but why not try it?

Later (dinner evening...) You can scour the docs for "USB HID" or just try it.
