Nice post idea, I'll move it to the General area, rather than XBMC

Genius GM-04012A wired USB mouse
Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel (USB wireless trackball)
All of my thumb drives, external hard drives and card readers so far
Samsung SE-S084D external DVD rewriter - can't remember which model, and I only checked it read discs, didn't attempt a burn
Proxima Direct® USB Wireless Gaming Receiver PC Adapter for XBox 360 Games Controller - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00D1CE75I/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plexus High Speed USB 2.0 7 Port Powered Hub - http://www.saverpoint.com/plexus-high-speed-usb-20-7-port-powered-hub---silver-8526-p.asp (I didn't purchase it from there though)
Obvously the VIP Remote Control and Mele F10 remote control's USB dongles work fine

Yet to test:
Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP Steering Wheel

Keyboards
Trust 17919 sn 12009000256 works great but the mouse wheel and space bar are bad.
Russian made глрлоо brilliant blue tooth with on off switch.

Mice
Logitech pid l220BC aorks bril

HDD

It has its own power supply.
Transcend 2TB hdd Storejet 25h3 no complaints, you just cannot use the programmes ghat come with it thats all as they are exe files.

Raspberrypi pihut usb hub powered 7 ports and no back feed.

I've created a new thread specifically for posting about USB webcams - USB Webcams - Can You Help?

Never tested the Logitech steering wheel before giving it to a friend before we left Kazakhstan. Do now have more gadgets to check though. Nothing too exciting, but could help others when deciding which USB devices or models to next buy.

Hi Please tell me the a solution to connecting a wired Xbox 360 USB controller to a T8.
I just keep getting a flashing green light

Any ideas ?

 

[pibitvillage]

Never had a xbox sorry

 

[ChrisM]

@Dickhead1 - I found

If this doesn't work -
-You may be missing the Keylayout file for USB Xbox 360 controllers. This is unusual but does occur on some devices. You can download the file here. Paste it into the directory /system/usr/Keylayout. (Will require root access).

Might be worth a look?

Hi just got the keyboard I have been waiting for.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400810444819?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Connected to the T8 by Bluetooth no problem.
Works great and lights up in the dark for when the lights are out.
A lot better than the Rio keyboard I was using and frees up a USB port.

 

[stana]

Just got these Bluetooth headphones.

They are excellent. Connected to the T8 and my Galaxy S3 mini no problem.
They have a micro SD card slot so you can put your music on, a radio and a 3.5mm jack line in so you can plug them into any device that does not have Bluetooth. (cable provided).
They also have a built in lithium rechargeable battery.
Really cool looking too.
Check out the link if you want some wirefree headphones.

Plexgear Mediatrack Edge mini Keyboard (RF usb Dongle)

Recently bought the above keyboard but my T8-S Plus wouldn't recognise it.
Followed install procedure pricisely but the so called driver wouldn't install.

Any suggestion?

Logitech k400 rf keyboard. On T8-S plus

Works great with accurate keypad and media keys in all players including in kodi

Update! Plexgear Mediatrack Edge mini Keyboard (RF usb Dongle) Solved !

Recognised and functioning perfectly! The issue was poorly translated install instructions.
Had to put the manual aside and think myself to get it working.

Can you let us know the DroidBOX device this was on please. Should be fine with all, but may help troubleshoot in the future if we know a specific model it was tested as working on.

Sorry yes. T8-S plus.

 

[Neilson Anyeme]

Exactly ! It's a T8-S Plus. Nevertheless, I have encountered new problems with the device. I mean problems I certainly caused trying to customise the device. I'm intouch with support and hopefully they will help.
