Can this tech be used for making powerless keyboards? As in no power just a mic.

now i'm imagining a keyboard where each key just smacks a piezo crystal

Before I owned a house I had a little Phillips puck-thing with four piezo buttons that you could bind to different smart light presets, no battery or wiring required.

Good luck with me, I use 34 keys in a Colemak layout with 8 levels of layers, essentially rendering it all useless, many strokes are rolled into the next, and chorded combos will sound like one ambiguous click.

I'm almost as cryptic, I use a en-US apple keyboard on a pc with a fr-CA locale.

Ah, you've reminded me that there was an early zenith tv remote that was literally just chimes
