alt Hacker NewsI’ve thought about doing this, what kind of device do you use for input?
I have a Logitech K400 Plus portable keyboard and it works great for general use, but I end up using my Apple TV on the couch instead since I prefer using a TV remote / gamepad to navigate.

i just use the cheapest wireless keyboard and mouse I can. I’m accessing content through the browser so there’s enough typing that I wouldn’t want a non keyboard personally.
Imo you only need remote like hardware if you’re planning to scroll through Netflix style walls of content.

a game controller works also really well with something like Steam Big Picture and Media Players
I have a Logitech K830, it's great. Alas they're not manufactured any more.
Modern equivalents are a lot cheaper. I think they might not have the backlight feature which is extremely useful, and I've dropped mine many times, even spilled coffee over it, and it still works flawlessly.
