  l am a little disappointed as it didn’t dive into how to make it work nonetheless.

  E.g. I am guessing the power needed to use my old mechanical keyboard at 120 key presses per minute (so 2 per second) based on needed force and travelled key distance to be in the 0.1W range.
  Not a lot, but probably enough to power a officient microcontroller with a small LCD display.

  I am convinced that with the right setup this could be actually working!
