Rejoice! Now You Can Use a Banana as a Keyboard

Tired of your boring keyboard? Two final-year PhD students at MIT have created a contraption that will jazz up your online life a bit.

The MaKey MaKey is an invention kit that turns everyday objects into touchpads. The project was launched on Kickstarter, where it's asking for $25,000. Though it still has 11 days to go, the project has already received $358,379 in funding.

"We believe that everyone is creative, inventive and imaginative," write the students on their Kickstarter page. "We believe that everyone can create the future and change the world. So we have dedicated our lives to making easy-to-use invention kits."
