7. Do a happy dance!

If you’re having any trouble installing drivers, please don’t hesitate to 
contact our technical support team. We’re more than happy to help out!

Mac Installation

If you’re a Mac or Linux person, there are no drivers! When you plug your 
MaKey MaKey in, you’ll be greeted with a screen like this:

To which you can reply with a “Continue”. That’ll be followed by:

The MaKey MaKey doesn’t exactly have a shift key, much less a key next 
to it. I’m not exactly sure of what Mac OS is trying to do here, but you’re 
safe to ignore this window by just closing it. You’ll only be asked to “Identify 
Your Keyboard” the first time you plug the MaKey MaKey in.

Making Your First Key

The most simple MaKey MaKey key you can make is one that only uses 
your 

fingers

. Try touching the 

Earth

bar while simultaneously touching the 

space circle pad. The LED above the 

SPACE

key should light up, and a 

space command should be sent to your computer.
