Question:

Force, Pressure Sensor in Keyboards?

Are there Force Sensing Resistors in the desktop keyboard? I would like to use them in circuits using Arduino. What other common devices might have such force sensors? Thank you!

Answer:

No desktop keyboard has pressure-sensing contacts; for such an application, they are all simple switches. Some electronic musical instrument keyboards are pressure-sensitive. Adapting one to your needs may be either fairly easy or very tricky, depending on both the design of the specific keyboard involved and exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
