Or a tentacle, or a nose, or some other appendage that can press a key. Or could be a large flying insect that divebombs the keyboard. Or could be a cockroach--if Archy could work a mechanical typewriter by jumping on the keys, some other cockroach could certainly work a modern electronic keyboard. Or could be crawling on a touchscreen. Or could have a direct electrical connection--could be, for example, an electric catfish working by coded impulses.
