I don't think so, no. The main reason I like the keyboard with touchpad is that it's only one piece to keep up with. I can also recline with it in my lap or whatever without having to have a flat surface on which to place the mouse.

So Sam Nazarko is coming out with his own platform. I have been using his crystalbuntu on my apple tv for years now and have been satisfied with his support. He is calling it the Vero and it will cost $199. What makes this different then most streamers is it will be designed to work out of the box. No SSH or rooting needed. He also says he will support the thing for 3 years worth of updates, maybe more.
The specs are a little meh, but you are paying for the working right out of the box feature. If it was $100 I would say it is a must buy. For now, you should keep an eye on it because his code is so good. https://getvero.tv/

I just missed out on this batch of the new Matricom G-Box Q Quad/Octo Core XBMC/Kodi Android HD TV Streaming Box [2GB/16GB/4K] for $109.00 from Amazon. As soon as it is available I am ordering this. This thing is a beast!

Has the community tested out its firmware yet? Matricom is notorious for having amazing specs but the code is garbage and requires the community to fix it.

I don't think so, I believe it has been out less than a week. This thing updates by itself, and they say they are constantly rolling out updates. It sounds like the bomb for out of the box no hassle setup.

I don't think that's quite as much of an issue as it used to be, due to the improvements in XBMC and Android both. At the time, Android XBMC was very new. There were a lot of janky patches in place to make it work. I'd definitely wait for some reviews though. But that new GBox Q looks pretty badass...

They sure don't roll out any updates for their old model this past year.

Okay I got the Matricom GboxQ today. I must say I am very impressed there are a few bugs to tweak out but XBMC runs flawlessly. I am going to order 2 more boxes for the kids room and shutting off cable when I get them. I highly recommend this box!!!!
