Nice and small remote with a keyboard side and backlit? Had to get all three. Rii's brand gets close, but there's always a weird quirk about their remotes that makes me think they're not quite right. Usable, though. Very usable.

I use an Amazon Fire Stick (1st gen, no mic) remote with my Shield. Works great. For a keyboard I just use the Android TV remote app if I need it but it's not an everyday occurrence. Like Ned says you'll struggle to find all three features done well. I'd pick the most important feature and maybe compromise a bit on the others.

I find that the Shield TV remote can do just about everything with the exception being the ability to turn on/off a TV. Nice to have volume control and more importantly voice recognition offered in SPMC that handles a search without or limited need of a keyboard.
