1. Some smart TV or application do not support mouse cursor and button click, so Touchpad has no function.

Once you have done this OS selection since it is saved and memorized, next time when you switch back to a device channel, you can use the keyboard right away, there is no need to do OS selection again unless you feel the keyboard layout or media shortcuts are not working correctly for the device. If this is the case, please press Fn and the corresponding OS key simultaneously for 3 seconds until all 3 blue LEDs flash together to confirm and finish.
