LG’s Magic Remote is one of the best Smart TV remotes that you will ever see. But, when it comes to typing an app name, every brand of remote is not up to the mark.

You can also use other mechanical keyboards and pair them to your LG TV using a wired or wireless connection.

Drawbacks in LG TV’s Virtual Keyboard
Though Smart TVs have virtual keyboards, it is not user-friendly. You have to navigate to each letter or key only by using the remote navigation button. In the LG TVs, you will get standard QWERTY keys, special characters, and edit options. But by connecting a keyboard to your LG TV, you can use the LG TV web browser, enter your email address easily, and so on.
