Makey Makey Classic by JoyLabz

The Makey Makey Classic by JoyLabz is a versatile invention kit that transforms virtually any object into a keyboard. Whether you aspire to play Mario on a Play-Doh keyboard or perform a symphony on a fruit piano, Makey Makey makes it possible. It works by tricking your computer into perceiving almost anything as a keyboard input, opening up a world of creative possibilities.

The Makey Makey Classic uses high-resistance switching to detect connections even through non-conductive materials like leaves, pasta, or even people. It cleverly counters input noise using a moving window averager for lowpass noise. It also doubles up as a mouse, with six inputs on the front of the board that can be connected using alligator clips, soldering to the pads, or any method you prefer. The back of the board features an additional 12 inputs, six for keyboard keys and six for mouse motion, accessible with jumpers via the female headers.

With the Makey Makey Classic by JoyLabz, the only limit is your imagination. It's perfect for STEM education, design studios, hackerspaces, and anyone keen on exploring the intersections of creativity and technology. From playing games to creating music, the possibilities are endless. The kit is user-friendly and doesn't require any programming or software installation. All you need is a computer with a USB port and a world full of objects waiting to be transformed into keys.

The kit includes:

• 1x Makey Makey HID Board
• 1x Mini-USB Cable
