- Typing in my PIN (since the whole seeing what I type on the screen is bad haha)

A number of Rasplex users have confirmed that it works fine, here’s one of them https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/884444#Comment_884444

It works fine for me, too.
I bought a Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus. It doesn’t work for me. There is no mouse and the buttons don’t work. 
Update, so now the keyboard works, but the mouse functionality still hasn’t worked. I was able to set up the system, but kinda wish the mouse worked…
@dtschirmer:
I’ve just now tested the K400 with my own RPi2, and can confirm that both keyboard and mousepad work fine.
I suspect that you may have missed the preference setting needed to enable the mouse usage of RasPlex.
The original “Plex Home Theater” which RasPlex is based on never had a proper mouse implementation, and this also remained the case for earlier versions of RasPlex and OpenPHT. So it’s only fairly recent versions of RasPlex and OpenPHT that have a proper mouse implementation. And for backwards compatibility of default usage this mouse implementation is by default disabled.
To enable it you need to navigate the GUI into the submenu “Preferences > System > Input devices” and ‘tick’ the option “Enable mouse and Touch Screen support”.
With this option set the K400 mousepad works fine for me, as do several different mice I have tested.
