MakeyMakey: Turn anything into a key

Hey all. I thought this would be an interesting project to show the deskthority community.

Recently on Kickstarter I saw a project that blew my mind. They are seeking funding for a project called: MakeyMakey. It is a small board that allows you to make anything a key. I don't see the point in typing very much about this, as they've put together an awesome video about it!
Since this seemed like something the Deskthority community would find cool I posted it here. I also have committed $35 in order to receive a MakeyMakey sometime in August. I'll be sure to post some interesting projects once I get the board sometime in August.

Here is the link to the kickstarter project if you are interested in ordering one!!

Cheers,

It clearly struck a chord with a lot of people:

Code: Select all

          $226,022
pledged of $25,000 goal

Now I am obviously curious to NKRO and other implementation details, but seeing how it's arduino based and source will most probably be included; that should all pan out.
