Thats a description of what the switch (supposedly) does, not an answer to my question. Also, that led is blinking as long as its in wireless mode ? I would go crazy because of the distraction (I would either disconnect/remove the led or throw the whole keyboard out) > I haven't had the time to open the keyboard, because you need > to unmount all Cherry switch first, nearly 80 of them. The last time I opened a keyboard I could just remove the plastic bottom shell and leave the actual keyboard (with its buttons) with the top shell. It might even just be a foil keyboard, with a small circuit-board located under the leds (the mechanics of the keys being a part of the top shell). Regards, Rudy Wieser
