Touch switch?

[wallybobber]

Does anyone remember back to the Sabor Touch days. That touch button used was avaiable to modders at one time. Does anyone one know where to purchase one these days?

I remember them, I was so close to winning one in some sort of contest way back, The only thing I can call up from memory is the maker was "Sir" something or other, maybe someone else can add more helpful info here for you. @CaFF

Sir lawrence was his name but an electronics website sold the button, just cant find it again.

Well, I never had one, but I know the guy who makes them has posted here. A bit of a ruckus, that.

He still sells them though: http://vapormoon.com/The_Saber.html

Seems like a simple capacitive switch though, just using dissimilar metals to form a circuit.

Some stuff that could be useful: http://www.discovercircuits.com/C/capacitance-sw.htm

Yeah, that would be neat. All of the ones I have seen for sale, they have some sort of IC involved intended for touch screens, which would be a different beasty.

Sorry I don't know much more about them, but perhaps someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Not a switch, but neither is his..its just copper and other metal plates.

You could email him, tell him what your building, and ask him to either sell you a switch or point you where to get one.
