The latest beta of Apple TV firmware released on December 3rd features full support for Bluetooth keyboards, reports 9to5Mac.

The latest Apple TV beta not only has a new Bluetooth menu but you can pair wireless keyboards to both the 2nd and 3rd gen Apple TV. Once connected, you can use a wireless keyboard to completely control the Apple TV without using the included remote. The arrow keys function for navigation.
