The recent release of the Formuler Remote app introduced new mouse features that enhance user experience in mobile apps.
Apps that only target mobile phones are not easy to use in the Android TV environment and there are still a number of apps that are not optimized yet for the Android TV OS.
With the new mouse features, you can easily scroll to 4 directions in mobile apps using D-pad or other assigned keys. These features are available in both GTV-BT1 and GTV-IR1 remotes.
