"I just want my keyboard" (aka the "lbattraw simplification")

Like lbattraw and others, I also wanted to be able to use just my keyboard without all the extra fluff, if necessary.

So with some trepidation I unscrewed and pried open my brand new Keysonic nano-keyboard (have I mentioned that it's cute too ? :-). Damn, but these things have become incredibly simple and empty since the last time I took one apart !

With my trusty Dremel I opened a small path on the side for another couple of wires and soldered these directly at the end of the keyboard's USB power wires. Through another homemade plug I can attach the same power pack as above to the keyboard, powering it and the 770's USB port at the same time ; now there is only the keyboard's cable, plugging directly into the gender changer on the 770. Autonomy TBD, but probably less power hungry than a BT device...

No reboot on plugging/unplugging this one, maybe I got lucky (or cautious :-)
