And sorry for the non-free link here, but this is just to back up my earlier point. So here's the link:

True, it runs on 2.4GHz radio, so you could reverse engineer it if you were bored for a month. But, as you can see the software itself (which controls the pairing options if you want to use a different receiver, or fix issues) only "works" on W'doze.
HTH,
Thanks

Hi Luke,
It seems that you're referring to the Logitech unifying receivers. The issue here is that out of the box these support only the devices that they've been paired with at the factory, but can support up to 6 if memory serves (you can check out the true limit on the L'tech website). Anyway, to actually pair these (ok, re-pair (that sounds awful, but you get the gist)) you need the software and that's only actually made available on proprietary OSes, typically Windows and Mac. (Of course, the nice thing is that the pairing info is stored in the receiver at the hardware level, so you'd only need minimal contact with non-libre systems, but I thought I should at least highlight the issue).
Thanks,
Russell If watchmaking were a science, eureka moments would occur on time!

Thanks for the reply Luke. My friend had an Acer laptop and I thought that the keyboard in that was great.
Will you sell replacement batteries or tell us where to order a replacement?
yeahhh. these are e-bike batteries, i'll have to stock up on them, the company that makes them is a wholesaler. you also have to be *real* careful, they can deliver an *enormous* amount of current - the tabs are metal 1in wide and 0.5mm thick coming out of the battery.
I suppose that if I did not want to run the battery down while I am working I could use the USB + HDMI Cable Set for Standalone, with a keyboard and mouse, and my cell phone charger to power the EOMA68 computer card, right?
yeahyeah, no that's the whole idea. you'll also need a USB hub (or one of those logitech wireless keyboard + mouse combo usb dongles) i'm using a logitech K400r you can look that up
or if you get the right adapter you can use one of those external battery packs to charge up / operate off of: find a 12v one and you'll be fine.
Would it be possible to adjust the wiring or add a switch to disconnect the battery? Could any electrician do it or would you consider making instructions? Or would it be safer to leave it stock?
it should be doable by a competent electrician. the casework designs are available so 3D printing a version with room for a switch is an easy enough task.
