## Description

Review: Amazing interactive toy for kids - Pretty cool. My son used this in school and loved it. We bought it for him for Christmas. He’s made video game controllers with it using pencil and paper and fruit. No clue what he he’s going but he love it.
Review: Definitely has the cool factor - One hour in, and this is a WOW! I debuted it with four teen-age girls having a slumber party, and they were engaged and impressed. It's certainly science/engineering in action. I heard several say they want it for Christmas. That said, it remains to be seen whether this will have any staying power -- I'll try to report back and see if this stays in the rotation or gathers dust. The product is easy to use right out of the box, except for one thing: I'm on a Mac, and I got a weird error message about how it couldn't detect the keyboard (it sees the Makey Makey as a keyboard). The instructions and MM site were no help, but somebody said on a blog just to ignore that message, which I did, with success. Last thing, and I feel bad even saying this, but it comes in such a small box that it seems to be of less value than it actually is. I hate gigantic, unnecessary packaging, but on the other hand, the small box suggests that it is an item of less value. BTW, I bought the kit on sale for $40. The list price says $70. I felt good about paying $40, but glad I didn't pay $70.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: hi, do the remote controlled fruits and apples roll well on shag carpet, thnkx!**
A: The Makey Makey does not control fruits or make them move.

**Q: will this work with a chromebook?**
A: I havent tried but i think that will work, if your  computer works with an external keyboard, maky makey will also work, because it works as a keyboaRdOadkrd to

**Q: How do you "assign" or "explain" what keyboard input the various clips are meant to send? e.g. how do you "tell" the piano app which banana is note c?**
A: The Makey Makey in fact is an alternative for your keyboard. It depends on the software (the piano program) which key should be touched to play a C. The Makey Makey can emulate a bunch of keys (not all). Suppose your piano program plays a C when you press the space bar on your keyboard. With a Makey Makey you can do the same by 1) connecting your C-banana with the contact point labelled "space bar" on the Makey Makey; 2) connecting the piano player (person) with the contact point labelled "ground" on the Makey Makey (and of course connecting the Makey Makey to your computer). When the player  touches the C-banana, the piano program produces a C.

**Q: Can I daisy chain the alligator clip ends together to make the wire longer or where can i get longer wire with the right alligator clips for this?**
A: Yes you can. Or you can make a wire out of aluminum foil, a wet string, or any normal wire whatsoever will work just fine. You could hypothetically buy hookup wire or solid core wire at Radio Shack, but you could also just cut apart any old wire you have in your house.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Entry Kit to the World of Computer Technology
*by D***J on January 23, 2015*

When I first saw the announcement video for this product, I brushed the Makey Makey off as gimmicky and toyish. But having used it for about a month, I have to admit that this kit is far more impressive than I expected. The setup between the Makey Makey and your computer is quick and straightforward, but the real creativity and challenge comes from figuring it out how to use it for pretty much anything that can be run on your computer. I can easily spend a few hours messing around with the various configurations on this device to get it to work perfectly with whatever I have it hooked up to and all of those hours will be spent with my mind working at full speed and a huge grin on my face. Really, the only gripe I have with this kit is that the device's cable limits the freedom of movement and range you have on it. But there's really no way around that unless you buy a Bluetooth adapter of sorts. For now, keep your inventions close to your computer and you should have no problems. If you're interested in tinkering around with computer devices, don't hesitate to pick this up. It's an awesome tool that's disguised as a toy.
