The top of the Maclock includes a touch sensitive area that would turn the backlight on and off, this area marked in red. It doesn’t move, it’s just plastic.

Underneath is a board that is likely difficult to remove, embedded with glue. It has two leads coming off of it.

Without seeing the board, can you theorize how it works and how it could be utilized with a Raspberry Pi GPIO?

A red and black wire attached to a green circuit board inside a slot in the case.
