Hardware Hookup
The simplest Makey Makey key you can make is one that only uses your fingers. Below are instructions to make yourself into a key!
Connect a USB Cable
First, grab the mini-USB cable included with the Makey Makey and insert the cable into the connector. Connect the other end to a USB port of your computer.
Ignore Pop-up Windows
When you first insert the Makey Makey into your computer, a window may pop up. You can cancel or close out the window.
Connect Earth
Touch the Earth bar to ground yourself.
Connect Yourself
Simultaneously touch the SPACE pad. The LED above the SPACE key should light up, and a space command should be sent to your computer.
Now try leaving one finger on the Earth bar while quickly tapping the space button. Getting a feel for it? It should work just like your standard space key!
Testing With a Text Editor
Open up some sort of text editor (Notepad, Word, TextEdit, etc.) on your computer to confirm if the Makey Makey is sending a space to your computer. Remember, just as with your boring ol' keyboard, your computer will interpret keypresses differently depending on what program is active. You can also use your mouse to click between the words in the textbox shown below.
