A good remote: Can anyone recommend a good remote for this TV that has a QWERTY keyboard?

UPDATED 12/06/12: Searching the Viera Shop Online through the TV smart app, they show several 4-6 QWERTY remotes available for sale that are compatible with this TV. I recently (11/24/2012) purchased the TV and called Panasonic regarding the SMART TV feature and QWERTY keyboard remote. While the support person was very helpful with a couple of issues with setup, Panasonic has no announced plans to release a QWERTY remote for use with the TC-L55ET5; a MOST disappointing response. Lack of a QWERTY keyboard remote is forcing me to lean towards return. The ONLY keyboard you can hook up to the TV is a standard USB hardwired cabled keyboard since the TV does not support downloading/installing ANY device drivers (eliminates any wireless USB keyboard). You CAN use the Panasonic App for Tablets, etc. Very disappointing.

C. McCabe,We can't recommend a specific model or brand, but other users here have noted that Wireless Microsoft keyboards, or wired HID-compatible USB keyboards will typically work well with Samsung televisions.This model does not have Bluetooth for keyboard connectivity, so a keyboard that supports wireless or a wired USB connection is recommended.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

Unfortunately I don't have that tv, so I don't know, but what I know is this keyboard is for android devices, and that tv is not android, so in case it will function you still will lose many of the features it has. I will not recommend it for that objective.

just call magnavox they should have remotes you can buy for that particular tv.. they dont cost much and would be the best bet as it would match the tv..

Get the Google TV Remote app on a tablet or smart phone. Works perfect on my Sony Google TV.

I got the dedicated Bluetooth Samsung TV keyboard along with the tv and it works great so any Bluetooth keyboard should pair up. I'm also able to use a usb mouse with the tv so that option should work also. In the settings menu it walks you through. It's a very smart tv.

You can use the Sony Remote app for Android and iPhone/iPad.. They keyboard in the app works great and the app is free.

I only use my Direct TV remote. As the other's have listed those are all top of the line remotes from research and from other's I know that have them. Good Luck!

Not only does it not come with a qwerty remote but despite the fact that the Vizio website for this specific model touts the qwerty remote it is not at all compatible with this model. After emailing back and forth with Vizio their final response was :sorry I will bring up your concerns with our marketing department"Nice customer service!! NOT!!!!!

Once you open the app, the on screen keyboard will appears, then you have to use the arrow keys on remote to enter them, take caution with up arrow since it is close by to the apps menu button if you hit it by accident you will have to start all over again. This is one of the poor design on the remote for this TV

The $80 keyboard is that cordless Mediaboard Pro you just mentioned. The reviews aren't that bad, but it seems kind of silly to be paying that much money and still be missing key functionalities like the START and PS buttons:Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro

I answered before. There were some mistakes in answer. Shortening the previous answer - Use Samsung AA59-00442A. It is working very reliably for 99% of functions I need. The POS Chews the batteries. Unreliable. Who cares for that typewriter in the back. It does not work well anyway. Samsung should recall and give refund to those who had Qwerty remote in the past.
