What can Makey Makey do?
Out of the box it works with the arrow keys, spacebar, and mouse left click which let you play a whole range of awesome games without any programming required. Turn the board over and you find the keys W, A, S, D, F, G, and ‘mouse up’, ‘mouse down’, ‘mouse left’, ‘mouse right’, ‘right click, and ‘left click’. The front is set up for easy alligator clipping, the back can be accessed with jumper wires (or safety pins/paper clips).
