<div>{{mininav|[[General topics]]}} {{to do}}<br />
<section begin="intro" />In {{Kodi}} the primary environment was designed for the living room ([[10-foot interface]]) and controlling it only with a remote control. While {{Kodi}} does support mouse, keyboard, and even touch controls, the main method of controlling {{Kodi}} is designed around is the typical remote. This further enhances the appliance feel of the {{Kodi}} and fits next to (or replaces) the other remotes that are likely to be in your entertainment room.<section end="intro" /><br />
