The MX3 remote air mouse is the perfect companion to your box. With a point and click inertia system that moves the cursor on screen when you move the remote and a full QWERTY key board on the reverse. This guide will give you some insight about some of the features of this awesome remote
The MX3 remote comes as pictured below.
The front side of the remote has your standard function buttons to navigate the box
However, flip the remote over and the back has an awesome slim-line QWERTY keyboard
Connecting the remote to the player is extremely simple
First, open the battery compartment and take out the USB wifi dongle inside. Put two AAA batteries into the remote, ensuring they are the correct way around
Then, simply plug the dongle into one of the available USB ports on your player
And voila, your remote will start working immediately. You can now point your remote at the screen and move the cursor around with the movement of your hand
So, now you have it setup, lets have a look at a few of the features
ReturnBack Button
This brings you back to the menu you were previously in
Home Button
Brings you back to the main menu
Menu button
Pressing this button brings up a small pop up menu when in a Kodi add-on. Used for adding things to favourites
Cursor On/Off
Pressing this button will turn off the mouse cursor function of the remote, leaving just the standard directional pad working. If the remote is left idle for a while, the remote cursor will automatically come back on.
Mute
This button will mute your device audio
Accessing the symbols in blue
On the keyboard there are characters and symbols in white, which are the most used, and ones in blue, which arent used so much. To type one of the blue characters, press the ALT button
Remote learning feature
If you would like your MX3 remote to learn some commands from another remote, then you can teach it to ‘copy’ the IR signal of the other remote. For instance, whilst the power button will turn your player off, it wont turn it back on because its not using the same ‘Turn on’ signal as your standard android remote. So here is what to do
1) Get your standard android remote (or any remote that you want to replicate a button from) and place it end-to-end with the MX3 so that the IR receivers are facing each other.
2) Then, on the MX3 press and hold the red TV button.
You will see the LED flashing rapidly then slow to a steady flash (the steady flash means the X3 is now in ‘learning’ mode)
4) Release the ‘TV’ button.
5) Now press the power button on the standard remote (or whichever button you want to map) You will see the LED light stop flashing and glow continuously, at this point press the power button on your MX3 remote. The LED will then flash again and eventually extinguish.
This means the MX3 has finished ‘learning’ the IR code from the other remote and has successfully mapped it to the power button
Is there a way to clear/reset the remote.

Factory reset
Just press “TV + DEL” at the same time and keep them pressed until the light turns off. After doing this, all IR codes are removed, so the power button works again in RF mode.

Hi! Since the MX3 power button cannot turn on the android TV box, I had it learn the power button signal of the original remote control of the android TV box to a color button. Still, it could not turn on the android TV box. However, learning the power button signal of a TV remote control was able to turn on and off the TV. Could anybody explain why? Anyway to solve this? Thanks!
Just click on the airmouse, or enable mouse and then click….it should turn on. Working on MX10
I try to install the power button/toggle of my TV remote onto the flymouse, but when I keep pressing the TV button, it never slows down to a steady pace. It keeps going very fast, do you have a solution to this?
Same model but not working any more. red light keep flashing. only IR buttons work. tried many time to pair with dongle by pressing TV+OK button but not work, dont know what to do. green light not showing
can this remote be used with the Xbox one?
I want to use gyro function of airmouse as car steering control in android TV as well as in pc. Is it possible to do it?
