Peripherals
This page is a list of most WebTV/MSN TV remotes, keyboards, and other things that interface with the units in some way.
Note that all remotes are manufacturer specific (i.e., Sony remotes will only work with Sony branded boxes), however keyboards are compatible with all models, regardless of brand. Remotes also work with any model, provided the brand matches.

Keyboards
A lot of keyboards were designed by Sejin Electron (SWK likely stands for "Sejin Wireless Keyboard") and are identical across models, save for branding. Most keyboards also have a second model number specific to the OEM they were branded by.

Notes
- Unlike the original WebTV units, the TV2 will accept any keyboard and remote, barring any layout incompatibilities. (i.e Favorites is mapped to the Philips SmartConnect button on an EUR646952A remote)
- UltimateTV keyboards (at least, RCA's), uses a different code from every other keyboard, making it incompatible without setting DIP switches in the battery compartment.
- In both modes, the WKB10WB1 keyboard seems to have issues keeping up with even modestly fast typing.
- According to at least one website, some Sejin keyboards without WebTV branding may work with WebTVs.
- The SWK-8650 does exist, however not with WebTV branding.
- Despite having a Sejin model number, the SWK-8670 seems to have been manufactured exclusively for (or by?) Philips. (note the SmartConnect button, which was a Philips-exclusive button and didn't appear on the other brand remotes or keyboards)
- The box for the SWK-8670 (labeled as MWK350BK) makes mention of a Philips ITV310 and ITV510. Neither seem to exist or are documented anywhere, and the box just shows Philips Magnavox WebTV units. The box for the keyboard also has no Magnavox branding, being solely Philips branded.
