6 dual switch ports in a compact, low profile footprint. Easily convert any switch closure to a keyboard, multimedia, or mouse command.
Features
Any switch can trigger an action on your computer. Any keyboard shortcut your software uses can have a designated switch (copy, paste, save, open, close). Switches are easily set up to launch applications, open files, or type short lines of text like names, addresses, and account numbers. Switches are connected via Assistive Technology standard 3.5mm (1/8”) phone plugs.
