How does it work?

With MaKey MaKey, you can turn the whole world into a keyboard! Turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. Simply alligator clip two objects to the MaKey MaKey board. For example, you and a banana (or an apple, or an ice cube, or a kitty cat). When you touch the banana, you make a connection, and MaKey MaKey sends the computer a keyboard message. The computer just thinks MaKey MaKey is a regular keyboard (or mouse). Therefore, it works with all programs and webpages, because all programs and webpages take keyboard and mouse input.
Make + Key = MaKey MaKey!
