    Is there anywhere that sells touch sensitive power switches for computer or any other places that sell switches that can be converted to touch sensitive ones?

    What you need is a piezo electric switch.
    A lot of stores sell them. I recommend mouser.com but they can be a tad expensive.
    Try ebay!
