- I've tried it and I can't get anything over 40 cm to work. The keyboard
- starts sending "``````" and won't stop until something is really pressed.
- This doesn't happen until the keyboard has been idle for some time. I used

- of my computer might have something to do, but like I said at least the 40 cm
- ribbon cable works OK).
