I talked to one of the engineers there, back in May 2000.

He said the Twiddler uses a glass bulb with 5 sensors, 
and measures liquid (not mercury) resistance.

He also said, for what its worth, Twiddler 2 will be out in 2000Q3,
will have IBM thinkpad-like eraser isometric joystick,
and  use either  ps/2 or usb ports, and look, electrically, just
like an ordinary keyboard.

I wonder how they download the keymap via ps/2 port...
Morse code in the CapsLock light ;-?
