    Bei mir ging es am Besten mit einem dünnen Plektrum. Außerdem war es am oberen Rand so eng, dass ich überhaupt nicht dazwischen kam. An der oberen rechten Ecke seitlich ging es dann gut.

    This is all very helpful, thank you.

    Just a query. When I took my keyboard off I appeared to have only two ribbons in the existing keyboard, the broadest one and the one of the back light (towards the middle) that didn’t work. The third right next to the broadest ribbon was absent altogether. Why? What was it for? Thanks
