No, it uses 16 inputs (8 row, 8columns) that go through an ESD-protector and then to GAIA. Check out page 7.
The ARM chip would be cooler indeed. If you can figure out how to make a pcb for it and power it with some nice software, we can use it in version 2!

The level of problemsolving is not very high here. How about.... TWO HOLES! BAM BAM BAMMMMMMM!!!!
