Here is a chart showing the variation of contact resistance of several touch sensors while pressing button very progressively.

There are huge differences between various sensor
Lightly pressed touch sensors have contact resistance in the 2 to 5 KOhms range.
Fully depressed resistance varies (for the samples I measured) between 400 and 560 Ohms

		Re: Multiplexing 4 touch sensors on an RCX input port
(...) I have tried this method too, and as you say in your text, it is plagued by the rubber contacts whose value goes down as more pressure is applied to the switch. I measured resistance of several touch sensors while applying a very progressive (...) (21 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
