Products priced generally lower than this are likely to be a "generic" variant. We guarantee that this official hardware will work with all official Makey Makey educational resources wherever it is referenced.** You may be the greatest living banana pianist, but how will you ever know if you don’t make yourself a banana piano? Good news! That project and countless others are easier than you think with Makey Makey. Using the Makey Makey you can *make* anything into a *key* just by connecting a few alligator clips. The Makey Makey Classic by JoyLabz is an invention kit that tricks your computer into thinking that almost anything is a keyboard. This allows you to hook up all kinds of fun things as an input. For example, play Mario with a Play-Doh keyboard or piano with fruit! The Makey Makey Classic uses high-resistance switching to detect when you’ve made a connection even through materials that aren’t very conductive (like leaves, pasta or people). This technique attracts noise on the input, so a moving window averager is used to lowpass the noise. The Makey Makey can also act like a keyboard or mouse. There are six inputs on the front of the board, which can be attached to via alligator clipping, soldering to the pads, or any other method you can think of. There are another 12 inputs on the back, six for keyboard keys and six for mouse motion, which you can access with jumpers via the female headers. **Note:** Makey Makey products now work with the [new Ipad OS](https://makeymakey.com/blogs/blog/connect-a-makey-makey-to-your-ipad-to-build-a-mouse-or-trackpad-code-your-key-presses)! ### Includes - 1x Makey Makey HID Board V1.6 - 1x Mini-USB Cable - 1x Alligator Clip Pack - 1x Jumper Wire Pack ### Documents - [Hookup Guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/makey-makey-classic-hookup-guide) - [Makey Makey Setup](https://makeymakey.com/how-to/classic/) - [Makey Makey Labz](https://labz.makeymakey.com/) ## Guides for this product - [Makey Makey at Home](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makey-makey/makey-makey-at-home/) - [Makey Makey in the Classroom](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makey-makey/makey-makey-in-the-classroom/) ## Videos for this product - [Makey Makey Game Controller Project for RetroPie](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/makey-makey-game-controller-project-for-retropie) - [Makey Makey Hand Drawn Piano, Nice!](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/makey-makey-hand-drawn-piano-nice) - [Makey Makey Project - Skill Tester!](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/makey-makey-project-skill-tester) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/k/i/kit-14478-1.png)
