unresponsive MXQ S905 OTT TV Box

Hi Kodi community – I’m a newby here & need some of your expert help please. My Android Kodi MXQ S905 OTT TV Box is unresponsive to remote control.

I bought the following MXQ S905 OTT TV Box (running Kodi 16.1 & Android 5.1) bundled with a wireless keyboard with mouse-pad:

Piracy box link removed

Not sure if the unit was a lemon but from the start the MXQ wouldn’t detect the bundled wireless keyboard & the standard remote was regularly unresponsive & the unit was sluggish, lagged or even froze. The vendor was terrible with customer support & eventually suggested a factory re-set, but this only erased the Kodi + other apps + my settings, but didn’t resolve it’s lack of response to remote control.

I downloaded & installed kodi-16.1-Jarvis-armeabi-v7a.apk today – but still no improvement.

Please help!
