Freedom
Est. $150–$350
The Freedom lets one switch control up to four different devices. You can move between them by holding the main switch down for a set time, or by tapping a second select switch. Each device plugs in through a standard 3.5mm switch jack, and you can program which channels are active so it skips any that are unused. The hold time is adjustable, and the keypad can be locked after setup so settings don't get changed by accident. Phones and tablets may need an extra adapter to connect, and the switch itself is sold separately.

Pillow Switch
$140.00
The Pillow Switch is a soft, smooth switch that someone can press with the head, cheek, or another body part, with a light touch. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono switch jack, so it can operate compatible communication aids, toys, and other switch-accessible technology. It fastens to a pillow or wheelchair cushion with a safety pin and Velcro, which puts it right where the person's head or cheek rests. This is only the switch. You'll need a switch-accessible device to plug it into, and a therapist can help with choosing a good spot and checking that the person can activate it reliably.

Ping Pong Switch
Est. $35–$75
The Ping Pong Switch is a light-touch switch that needs very little force to activate. That makes it a fit for someone with limited movement who can reliably press with a small motion, such as a head movement. It's built to resist water and moisture and to hold up to daily use at school, in therapy, or at home. It plugs into any device with a 3.5mm mono switch input. A mounting set (gooseneck arm, Super Clamp, and Mini Ball & Socket mount) is offered as an option so you can position it exactly where the user can reach it. On its own it's just the switch, so it only does something once it's connected to a switch-accessible device.

Inclusive Easy Choice Bundle
Est. $150–$450
This bundle pairs two wireless switches with HelpKidzLearn software called EasySwitch and Choose and Tell. Together they give a child a way to start making choices and to practice scanning, where options are highlighted one at a time and a switch press picks one. It is made for young learners who are building early choice-making skills and need a switch, rather than a mouse or touchscreen, to take part. Because the switches are wireless, they can be positioned where a child can reach them most easily. The software runs on a computer, so you'll need one set up and ready.

Button Click Switch
$34.95
The Button Click Switch is a small plate switch, about 2½ inches square, that sends a signal each time it is pressed. It needs only about 40 grams of pressure, so a light touch is enough to activate it. It has no battery. This is just the switch, so it does nothing until you connect it to something that accepts a switch, such as a switch-adapted toy, a call chime, or a switch interface.

Saucer Switches
$46.95
These saucer-shaped switches turn a light touch into a signal that can run a switch-accessible device, such as an adapted toy or a communication device. They're designed for someone who can't control or sustain the hand or wrist movements a traditional plate switch asks for. You can choose the standard Saucer Switch (7 inches across, 1 inch tall) or the smaller Mini-Saucer (about 3¼ inches across), and both weigh a quarter pound. A switch like this does nothing alone. It has to be plugged into something that responds to it, and choosing the right size and placement is easier with an OT or ATP.

it-Send Pro
Est. $80–$200
The it-Send Pro lets you plug in up to six wired switches (the kind with 3.5mm jacks) and sends their presses wirelessly to a paired it-Receive, so the switches don't need a cable to the computer or toy. It works within about 10 metres, which gives you room to position switches wherever the person can reach them most comfortably. With the it-Receive and the supplied Switch Centre software, each switch function is set up automatically for Simply Works devices. For software that isn't in the database, you can build a custom profile. This is a piece of a larger system: you need the switches themselves, an it-Receive, and a Simply Works-compatible computer program or adapted toy to make it useful.

KajoButton Mini Switch
Est. $20–$60
The KajoButton Mini is a small black switch with a 25mm press surface that gives both a click you can feel and hear when it's activated. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono jack on a 150cm cable, so it can sit where someone can reach it comfortably and work with communication aids, computer software, and adapted toys. This is the switch only. It does nothing until it's connected to a device that accepts a 3.5mm mono switch, and it's a good fit for someone who needs a compact, sturdy button for activating those devices.

Big Red
$75.00
The Big Red is a large switch with a 5-inch (12.7 cm) round surface that takes a light press, about 5.5 ounces of force. It gives both a click you can feel and a sound you can hear, so the person knows they hit it. It's a good fit for someone who needs a big target because of low vision or limited hand control. It comes with red, blue, yellow, and green snap-on tops and a clear holder for picture symbols. You can make printable symbol overlays with AbleNet's free Symbol Overlay Maker app, which needs an iPad running iPadOS 13 or newer. A switch like this does nothing alone, so you'll need to plug it into a switch-accessible device or interface.

Mini-Gumball Switch
$58.95
The Mini-Gumball Switch is a small, round adapted switch with a 2-inch base that sits half an inch high. When pressed, it gives both a click you can feel and a sound you can hear, so the person knows the press registered. Its base has three holes and a removable mounting plate, so it can be attached to a tray, chair, or other surface. It needs no batteries and comes in several colors. This is only the switch: it does nothing until it's plugged into a switch-accessible device, toy, or communication aid, usually through a switch interface or a device with a switch jack.

Jelly Beamer Transmitter
$145.00
The Jelly Beamer Transmitter is a wireless switch, so someone can activate a device by pressing it without a cord running between them. It works from up to 30 feet away with no pointing needed, and several can be used in the same room because each has its own code. It also has a jack for plugging in a different single switch, which lets that switch work wirelessly too. It does nothing alone, though. You'll need AbleNet's Wireless Receiver, and the receiver has to be connected to whatever the person is controlling.

Inclusive Switch Skills Bundle
Est. $600–$1,200
This bundle pairs a Multi2 switch interface and Smoothie Switches with Switch Skills software titles that build core switch control and timing. The activities start with cause and effect and move toward early scanning, so a child can practice using a switch step by step. The listings differ on whether it includes three or four software titles, so confirm that before ordering. It's a ready-made practice kit, but it works best when a therapist or teacher helps match the switches and activities to the child.

Pillow Switch on Easy Flex Mount
$125.95
This is a pillow switch attached to a flexible, clamp-on mount, so someone can activate a switch-controlled device by pressing a soft pillow. The mount clamps to a surface, and you bend the arm to put the pillow where the user can reach it most comfortably. It takes a light touch, around 35 to 40 grams of force, which suits someone who can't press a hard button. The arm is about 20 inches long and the whole set weighs about a pound. It's only the input piece. You'll need a switch-adaptable toy, communicator, or other device to plug it into.

IR Controller
Est. $150–$400
The IR Controller lets someone who uses an AAC (speech-generating) device run switch-adapted equipment from that same device. It picks up the infrared signal the AAC device sends out and turns it into six separate switch outputs. Those outputs can run things like a switch-adapted bubble machine or an appliance controller such as the iClick mains controller. Each output can work in Latched, Timed, or On/Off mode, and ready-made Gridsets/Pagesets (the page layouts used on AAC devices) can be downloaded and changed with your own pictures and button sizes. It suits someone who would rather control their surroundings through the device they already use than through a separate switch. It is a piece of a larger setup, so you will need an AAC device with an IR output and something switch-adapted to plug in.

Switches - Specs - Green
$75.00
The Specs switch is the smallest in AbleNet's switch family, only 1 3/8 inches across, with a green cap. It works as a press switch that gives audible feedback, and it responds across its whole surface. It's made of durable, high-impact ABS plastic, has a 6-foot cord with a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) monoplug, and comes with three detachable bases to choose from. A small target like this can suit someone with limited reach or small, precise movements. This is just the switch. It does nothing until you plug it into a switch-accessible device, toy, communication aid, or interface.

Simply Works – Wireless Switch Access
$199.00
Simply Works is a wireless switch set that lets someone control a computer by pressing a single switch from up to 30 feet away. The kit includes the it-Switch, which the person presses, and the it-Receive, a small receiver that plugs into the computer's USB port. Because there's no cable between the two, the switch can sit wherever the person can reach it most comfortably, such as on a tray or a wheelchair mount. It's a good fit for someone who can't use a regular keyboard or mouse but can reliably press a switch. The kit gives you the way in, but you'll still need software on the computer that works with a switch, like a switch-accessible communication or computer access program.

Smoothie Switch Pack
Est. $60–$120
This pack holds eight wired press switches from AbleNet: four small ones with a 75mm pressing surface and four large ones with a 125mm surface, one of each size in red, yellow, green, and blue. Each switch has a low, angled shape and gives a click and a tactile response when pressed, so a person with limited movement can tell when they have activated it. A switch does nothing on its own, so you'll plug these into a switch-adapted toy, a switch interface, or another device that accepts switches. A variety pack like this helps when you're still working out which size and position works best for someone. A therapist can help with that choice and with mounting.

Compact Switches
$81.95
These are small, pocket-sized switches sold as a set of three. Each one activates a device with a light press of about 35 grams of force, so a slight finger or wrist movement is enough. You can mount them on almost any surface, including with Velcro, and use all three at once to run three different devices. They don't do anything on their own. You plug each one into something switch-accessible, like a toy, an appliance, a lamp, a TV, or a computer.

Access Switch
Est. $25–$65
The Access Switch is a touch-sensitive push button that lets someone activate a device with a light press instead of using a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. It comes in a small size (30mm pressing area) and a medium size (65mm pressing area). A clear screw-on cap holds a picture or symbol on top, so the switch can be labeled with the item or action it triggers, and you can swap the image as needs change. It clicks and gives a tactile response when pressed, which helps people who need that confirmation. This is only the switch. It has a 150cm cable with a 3.5mm mono plug, so you'll need a compatible device or switch interface to plug into, and the picture symbols are not included.

it-Control Pro Starter Pack
Est. $150–$300
This starter pack pairs the it-Control Pro, a two-channel controller, with a wireless it-Switch so someone can run switch-adapted toys or other devices with a light touch. The controller has two 3.5mm output jacks, so you can plug in two toys at once. It works in several modes: direct, latched, timed (in seconds or minutes), and two cooperative modes where two people share control. Up to three wireless switches can pair to each channel, or you can connect wired switches instead, with a range of up to 10 metres. The switch has a low, slanted profile and responds to very small movements, which suits someone with limited strength. The pack's switch comes in small or large sizes and four colours, so check which version is included before ordering.

Test-IT!
Est. $25–$60
Test-IT! is a small battery-powered tester that tells you whether a switch is working. Plug any switch with a 3.5mm plug into its socket. An orange light comes on to show the tester has power. Press the switch and a green light comes on if the switch is working. It shuts itself off after you unplug the switch, which saves the battery. It's handy for teachers, therapists, and families who want to rule out a dead switch before a session starts or when something stops responding. It only checks the switch itself, not the device or software the switch controls. A 9V battery is included.

Big Red Switch
Est. $50–$90
The Big Red Switch is a large, press-down switch with a 125mm top, making it an easy target for someone who has trouble hitting a small button. It gives a firm tactile feel and an audible click when pressed, and it only activates while pressed. It comes with red, yellow, green, and blue tops you can swap, which helps tell switches apart when you use more than one. A 180cm cable ends in a 3.5mm mono plug, and you can mount it with adhesive, hook-and-loop fasteners, or a switch mount. Keep in mind that this is only the switch. It does nothing until it is plugged into something that accepts switches, such as a communication device, a computer with scanning software, an adaptive toy, or an environmental control.

KajoButton Standard Switch
Est. $25–$65
The KajoButton Standard Switch is a medium-sized press switch with a 50mm top surface that gives a person a reliable way to activate a device with a single press. It gives both a tactile click and a sound with each press, so the user knows the press registered. A 150cm cable lets you place it where the person can reach it comfortably, and the 3.5mm mono plug fits communication aids, adapted toys, and environmental controls that take a standard switch input. This is only the switch: it does nothing until it's plugged into a compatible device. Choosing the right size, placement, and target device is where a therapist or teacher can help most.

BIG Candy Corn 2
$255.00
The BIG Candy Corn 2 is an access switch that activates when a person's hand or body is near or touching its large surface, so no pressing force is needed. It uses a proximity sensor that doesn't need calibration, and it gives a beep and a light when triggered (both can be turned off). The surface is nearly twice the size of the LITTLE Candy Corn, which helps someone with limited fine motor control or low vision find and hit the target. It runs on 2 AA batteries, which are included. This is only the switch: it has to be plugged into a speech device, tablet, computer, or other switch-adapted device to do anything.
