The Makey Makey Bit turns everyday conductive objects (like bananas) or material into a touchpad, and lets you control your littleBits modules with everyday objects, trigger events on your computer with littleBits modules, or combine both.

The Makey Makey Bit sends an "on" signal to the Bits that follow it when a keypad ("left arrow", "space/click", or "right arrow") is connected to either of the "earth" pads through a conductive material.

When you connect the Makey Makey Bit to your computer with the micro USB cable it can act like a keyboard or mouse, controlling "left arrow", "right arrow", and "space click". For example, when you touch the "space/click" pad and an "earth" pad, it is the same as pressing the space bar or left click on your mouse.
