I am going to connect a simple keyboard hack to the passthru connector on my i-pac. The question is...

Of five wires in the keyboard cable, how many of them really need to be switched on an off if I were to make a cheesy keyboard switch?

In ther words, can I get away with disconneting just the 5v or some smaller set of wires from the keyboard not being used? Or must I find a 5PDT switch to disconnect all 5 wires?
