What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Blue2 FT is a wireless Bluetooth switch that activates when you touch it or bring a hand close to it, so no hard press is needed. It gives sound and light feedback when it triggers. It can control an iPad or iPhone through Switch Control, and it also works with Windows, Mac, and Chromebook software that responds to keyboard keys like space, enter, or 1 through 4. It has two jacks for plugging in extra switches, such as a Jelly Bean or Big Red, and the built-in sensors turn off automatically when an external switch is connected. It has a rechargeable battery and threaded inserts for mounting. Setting up the right access method, position, and software takes some trial and error, so this is best chosen with someone who knows switch access.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Charge the battery, turn the switch on, and pair it with your device over Bluetooth. - With a guide
- On an iPad or iPhone, turn on Switch Control in the accessibility settings and add the Blue2 FT as a Bluetooth switch. This can take 30 to 60 minutes the first time.
- For computer or Chromebook software, check which key the software expects (space, enter, or 1 through 4) and match the switch to it.
- Plug in any external switches and mount the unit where it is easy to reach. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose the best access site, set the sensitivity and position, and set up scanning or Switch Control so the person gets reliable use. A session or two is common.
