It actually does work. I still have mine set up from when I tested it. You can also use the fatty bulge on your pinky when you curl your finger.
I do need to be hard though. It would probably work had I set it up with a softy though.
Wtf is this conversation ๐คฃ Have at it though if it works.
Username doesn't check out.

Extrapolating on the results here, one could most likely use any area of their skin as if it were a fingerprint, even perhaps the tip of your nose or your earlobes or something.
