Thanks for all the help guys! Let me go through it:

I agree with you, very touchy... but the plastic cap will be lit slightly when the button is active. So I can see they are not during being not touched! For the verbose output, will this work in PUTTY - I think it should, correct? gregklanderman wrote: > Matthias, > What is the center button?

I can not brwose anywhere, just the functions indicated on the buttons. I just wanted to be able to play, pause, FWD, RWD, VOL+, VOL- without using my mobile each time.

No idea if I need them :-) It seems that nothing happens until I push the buttons! But then it goes wild & weird. My first guess was a fried GPIO so I used a brand new Pi, but the problem persists. The only thing I don't know is, maybe somehow the press of a button will also introduce some current into others, however this can happen. Do you know how to pull down the resistors? I'm using the GPIO's 23 Play, 22 rew, 24 fwd, 25 vol+, 27 pwr, 17 vol- (acc. to BCM layout).
