Pick a 2.4GHz dongle keyboard if your TV box lacks Bluetooth, such as the AULA AC306 at R239. The Logitech K250 Compact Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard at R299 pairs over Bluetooth instead. Check that your TV or box supports Bluetooth keyboards before you pay.
A keyboard for a smart TV is a different buy from a desk keyboard, because the TV box often sits behind the screen and the couch is the only place you type. The first question is whether your box accepts Bluetooth keyboards or needs a 2.4GHz receiver, and that answer decides which keyboard is worth buying.
Check whether your TV or Android TV box supports Bluetooth before you buy. If it does not, a 2.4GHz set such as the AULA AC306 combo at R239 avoids pairing altogether, provided the box has one free USB port for the receiver. If it does pair, the Logitech K250 Compact Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard at R299 is a compact option that connects over Bluetooth.
Bluetooth needs nothing plugged in, but the box has to accept pairing from its own settings menu, and some boxes are picky about which devices they will pair with. A 2.4GHz keyboard uses a small receiver in a USB port. That costs you one port, but it skips pairing entirely. For a TV box with a spare USB port, that trade is usually worth it.
Smart TVs are a separate case, because the keyboard may connect to the TV itself rather than to a box plugged into it. Many televisions list keyboard or Bluetooth pairing in their own settings menu, so check that menu first if the TV has no separate box. If it offers no keyboard pairing at all, a 2.4GHz set with a receiver is the fallback.
In a flat in Johannesburg where the box hides behind the screen, a receiver left in the back port is easier to live with than re-pairing after a restart. The Logitech K250 at R299 is the Bluetooth alternative, with a full-size, spill-resistant layout and long battery life, so it suits a box that pairs cleanly.
The MARVO WS005 combo at R179 is the cheapest option here, with a mouse that supports up to 1600 DPI and an anti-sweating design. Its batteries are not included, so budget for a set before you start. The AULA AC306 at R239 is a full-size 104-key membrane keyboard with an 800 to 1600 DPI mouse, and it runs on AA batteries. It comes in four colours. The MARVO WS009 at R199 adds six programmable buttons and a polling rate of up to 100Hz.
For searches, logins and streaming menus, a full-size layout with a mouse is enough, and you do not need a desk to use it. A mouse with a lower DPI moves the cursor more slowly, and a very fast cursor overshoots small buttons on a TV screen.
The AULA S102 PRO at R299 offers the most connection choices in this list. It is tri-mode, switching between 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and USB-C from one board. It is full-size with a numpad, has an RGB backlight, and carries a TFT screen with a volume knob. If you also game on the TV, the Marvo Saber 65 at R379 is a tri-mode mechanical keyboard with 13 RGB lighting modes, though its compact 65% layout has no numpad.
If you want a plain keyboard without a mouse for typing in the lounge, the office keyboards range is the other place to look. The keyboard and mouse combos page is the better starting point if you want both in one purchase.

A 4K editing rig can be enough for South African creator work if the build has enough VRAM for rendering, AI tasks, and large project files.
