Swifty has two status LEDs. Both the red and green LEDs are
turned on when Swifty is first connected to a USB port. Both LEDs
turn off after the computer recognizes Swifty and USB
enumeration is complete. Thereafter, the red LED turns on when a
wired switch is actuated, and the green LED turns on when a
wireless switch (using Beam) is actuated.
