What is the function that your tv remote can't do except Air Mouse and what about your original Shield remote?
I have been using my Sony TV remote mostly to navigate and even able to access Home, Recents apps & etc shortcut via CEC.

You were right after all - it has nothing to do with the USB port. As mentioned in my above post to @jhleo1, right after my last posts here, my remote control started acting up again (2 days in a row now) with the same problem. So it looks like it is a faulty remote control after all.

Hopefully  NVidea will come up with better quality remote control for its new version of the Shield.

Thanks, will grab this one. How's the voice command, does it receive your command properly when trigger google assistant?
I actually had a bunch of these similar remote keyboard but most of the usb dongle gone/missing    makes the remote useless which is why I try to get the bt remote ones. Don't have to worry about dongles 
xiaomi bt remote didn't work - just won't pair for some reason, i googled seems like other users also have same problem

I’m looking for that voice feature just for searching stuff on kodi rather than typing each letter 😅
That air mouse is useful for astro go app at least since astro just too lazy to release proper android tv app
I’m still browsing thru some of the g20/40 remote option
