The Makey Makey doesn't use analog inputs. It uses 22 MOhm pull-up resistors and counts the number of '1' bits in the last 24 samples (about 60 samples per second). Default threshold is 55% (13 samples ON).You can find the firmware here:

Thanks - do you think I would still be able to find a way to end the burst of keystrokes with the method i've used above? It seems like i got so far with the direction I went in, just needs one final step. i am tempted to keep tinkering with delays on this one even though i didn't have much luck with them before.
