Is there any material out there that is conductive and "sponge" like?
(something that is very plyable)

Thanks,
Jon

I guess something better than a dry sponge as seen in the execution
seen the Green Mile movie.

Yes, have you never received an IC stuck into some conductive foam ?

But you're an IDIOT, so I expect you'd not have realised it was
conductive as well as being black.

I stuck an ohm meter on black conductive foam for DIP IC's.
Spacing ~ 1"
Force: ~1mm depression
(The probes didn't puncture the foam.)
Resistance: ~25kohm

Google things like emi gasket, emi conductive polymer, emi seal.
Several people make a range of interesting compressible conductive
things.

"fuzz buttons" and "brass wool" can give you quite a lot of flex while
making contact.

There are also some conductive cloths etc used for EMI shielding on
things that need to flex.

Look for brand names like 'Brillo' and 'Kurly Kate'.
