Connect Yourself
Simultaneously touch the SPACE pad. The LED above the SPACE key should light up, and a space command
should be sent to your computer.
Now try leaving one finger on the Earth bar while quickly tapping the space button. Getting a feel for it? It should
work just like your standard space key!
Testing With a Text Editor
Open up some sort of text editor (Notepad, Word, TextEdit, etc.) on your computer to confirm if the Makey Makey
is sending a space to your computer. Remember, just as with your boring ol' keyboard, your computer will interpret
keypresses differently depending on what program is active. You can also use your mouse to click between the
words in the textbox shown below.
