Is there a Samsung QWERTY remote control compatible with the UN60ES7100 LED TV?. My husband was disappointed that it didn't come with it, so i want to try to find it for him for Christmas.

Hi akee1213,
You can get him the VG-KBD1500. It'll be compatible for sure, but admittedly, it's a full-sized keyboard. Otherwise, most USB, HID compliant keyboards will work just fine.

For a very long time I wondered if there was such a Samsung Branded Keyboard. Good to see they have it now. It's also on the usual best selling accessory list at that site named after a river. Currently at #8.
Thanks and good move for Samsung.

Hi Bob,
We've had it for a while actually, but most people complain about the price and the fact that it's limited to 2012 models, ES6500 or Plasma E550 and higher. So I try not to push it too hard, as people will come on later in a thread and complain that they have a lower model, and it's not supported. :S

A trip to a store and no sign of it.
As to the price, it could be less and you'll still get that comment but my comment is that the question about compatible keyboards comes up a lot. If Samsung can deliver for 99 bucks for folk that want a verified solution I think that's what they are buying.
I know that on some models the usual other models work but consumers don't want that "should work" answer.
Still it's nice to see Samsung has answered this one.
