Super vielen Dank. Wenn du mir jetzt noch sagen kannst, was ich machen muss, damit die Tastaturbeleuchtung immer an bleibt, wäre einfach cool

Can you publish a guide that shows how to best replace the switches? I have one switch that needs replacement, "9/". Thank you.

@rrh87863 you mean like https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/Logitech... ?
It's in German and I didn't had the time to translate into English yet, but I'm sure your browser can translate it.

I would like to replace the batter since mine stopped charging, is that doable?

Hi Stephen,

Another user reported that replacing the battery in the mini version is the same as the full-sized keyboard (guide here). We don't know if the two keyboards use the same battery, though. If you have the chance, creating a guide for this would help everybody out!
