Ya seem to be missing the point, from what he says, he cant turn it off. He is using a setup for his controls and communications that use the caps as a toggle of some type. My friend has had one just like it before he got a mixing control board (1500$+) to talk and help with his games. By all means, find a better solution than the one he has and let us know. You seem to know the exact setup he has, the reasons why it's that way, and how you can make it better. But whatever fella, hope no ironic twist of fate let's you experience it first hand.
