Jan 23, 2017 at 10:40 comment added Vladimir Cravero Depending on the power requirements of your design, capacitive sensing might be too power hungry. You can get away with the 50Hz (probably). If you touch the gate of a mos, you turn the mos on. Also, you usually break it, so it must be somehow protected, but it is a good starting point.
Jan 23, 2017 at 10:38 comment added mxcd @PlasmaHH This might be another possibility, but I though of something like amplifying the current that flows when bridging the above pad with your finger, unsing it to operate a mosfet or something
Jan 23, 2017 at 10:25 comment added PlasmaHH You mean a capacitive touch sensor?
