Can't get the Rii mini X1 to work?

[Daimill1728]

Hi I've bought a Rii mini X1 wireless keyboard, followed the instructions provided but can't get it to work with the pi on XMBC?

I'm using a small wireless dongle from the pi hut.

Can somebody point me in the right direction here please?
Thanks Dave

Thanks for the swift reply!

It's wifi keyboard though not Bluetooth so not sure if that works?

I thought it would be plug & play going of the instructions but having no joy here

The Keyboard should come with a USB Receiver, as shown in the 4th picture:

fyi the PiHut USB WiFi Dongle is for communicating to networks not keyboards,

Ignore me I'm being thick again!!

I didn't notice the small USB dongle inside the controller! I've plugged this into the pi and it's working fine!
