Yeah, I finally hooked up a USB keyboard using an OTG adapter and yeah it's not
really usable but I wanted to try it out.

I couldn't get leanfront to install (not that it would work any better), nor could I
get my phone to pair with the firestick bluetooth remote. The remote pairs with my
MAC with no big issues and shows up as a keyboard, I can almost use it to control a
myth frontend on my MAC but some keys don't work.
