FAQ

How does Queaky work?

It works on the principle of a closed circuit. The moment Queaky senses that the circuit is closed meaning there is a loop for the current to flow, it gives out a shout. The tone is based on how much resistance is present in the circuit.

How does it beep when the loop is closed with our bodies?

The cells in our bodies are made up of different types of ions that conduct electricity. While the human body is not the best conductor of electricity, it is enough for Queaky to sense the current and make it shout.
