first saw schematics for these in the popular electronics type mags in early
60s, touch switches are available at hardware stores cheaply, I have a pile
of them from a swap meet that I use when I make a lamp that has no practical
place for a switch - it works by capacitance typically. very easy to build,
but cheaper to buy

I purchased a desk light at Home Depot. It has an amazing featu it
is switched by touching its base. It does not have a mechanical
switch. All I have to do to turn it on, is to touch it. Very clever.
