-
Use the navigations buttons on the right of the keyboards to go up, down, left, right and OK button to select.
-
use the right mouse button as a back button. The ESCAPE button will close apps but it is best to the the right mouse click to close apps correctly.
-
The volume controls will NOT control the volume of your TV. (because the USB adapter is plugged into the firestick and not your TV) But the volume buttons will control the volume of media players like MX player, VLC or KODI for example.
-
The mouse touchpad has some limitations controlled by App developers and Amazon. Depending on the developer and the Firmware version (with gets updated) the mouse will sometimes be disabled. Examples would be the Amazon Homepage or the HULU App. These are firmware restrictions we cannot control and may change depending on what updates there are in the future.

If your using an app that has internal volume control (like kodi) you can use the volume keys to change it.
Mouse-pad is not working
The track pad mouse feature will work in most Apps but not all.
It will not work on the main amazon homepage, you need to be in an app to use it.
