i wounder if you can use these bottons for the keyboard pants and just build the keyboard instead of just buying one and seperating it. yeah it would be more work but seems better.. more durable…

It seems like it would be possible, if nontrivial, to set up a capacitive touchpad using a similar technique and one of those capacitive-sensor-controller chips from Analog Devices. This would probably be fairly useful for [dokumentamarble]’s application, and certainly for [furry]’s. :) Anyone working on that?

I like it.

I’ve been pondering for a while how to make wearable buttons that I can attach (perhaps like a badge?) to my coat so I can control my iRiver mp3 player easily when out cycling in the cold with gloves on.
This is a good step towards that solution.

Very cool!
Imagine the extra credit you’d get if home economics and shop classes still existed!

I hope they exist somewhere and that someone is wowing ‘em with stuff like this if so!

That would be great for kids toys.
