It does so by allowing you to turn everyday objects into touch-enabled buttons. Want to turn a donut into a spacebar button? There's nothing stopping you. Think a banana might make a good right-click mouse button? Have at it! Once the device is hooked up, the connected computer recognizes objects as keyboard or mouse commands -- usually space bars or left mouse clicks, although users can remap things via a web interface. The Makey Makey Go is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, with a pledge of $49.95 sufficient to get you an original unit if and when production commences. This is a fantastic product that uses technology to help you get creative, and is sure to inspire fascinating creations and ideas from people of all stripes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wearable Touchpad Technology:** Wearable touchpad technology can be used to create innovative products that enhance user experience. - **Web-based Interface:** Web-based interfaces can provide users with an easy way to customize their wearable touchpad experiences. - **Rise of DIY Culture:** DIY culture is on the rise, as is evidenced by the success of the Makey Makey Go Kickstarter campaign. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can leverage wearable touchpad technology to create products that stand out in the crowded market. - **Education Technology:** Wearable touchpad technology can be used to create interactive educational tools for students of all ages. - **Entertainment:** The Makey Makey Go demonstrates the entertainment potential of wearable touchpad technology, opening up possibilities for game and toy development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent Touchscreen Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keygo-touchscreen-keyboard.md) - [Intuitive Gesture-Control Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactigon-skin-wearable-mouse.md) - [Wearable Desktop Control Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prolo-ring.md) - [Introductory Connected Device Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plug-and-make-kit.md) - [Wireless Tongue-Operated Trackpads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-tongueoperated-trackpad.md) - [Adaptive DIY Macro Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keybon.md) - [Tongue-Controlled Digital Interfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-interfaces.md) - [Wearable Technology Gesture Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-mouse.md) - [Wearable Gesture-Based Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clip-mouse.md)
