Professional guidance helps The Hitch 2 plugs in easily, but it does nothing alone. It is one piece of a larger setup that also needs switches and switch accessible software. Choosing the right switches, placing them well, and matching the software to the user's abilities goes much better with professional guidance, even though a family could work out the basics.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Hitch 2 is a USB switch interface. It lets one to five switches, or a joystick with a 9-pin D plug, act as a keyboard or mouse for a computer. It sends core keystrokes that switch accessible software commonly uses, and you can program one to four keystrokes of your own. A mouse control mode lets a joystick or several switches move the on-screen cursor. It works with Windows, macOS, Chrome, and Android devices that have a USB connection, and Mac users can pair it with Switch Control for full computer access. This is only the interface: you'll need your own switches or joystick, plus switch accessible software, before anyone gets any benefit.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the Hitch 2 into the device's USB port. It is plug-and-play, so no driver install is described.
  • With a guide
    1. Connect your switches or joystick to the Hitch 2 inputs, then open your switch accessible software and confirm each switch does what you expect.
    2. On a Mac, turn on Switch Control in the accessibility settings. If you want custom keystrokes, program one to four of them. Allow about 30 to 60 minutes to test and adjust. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help pick the right switches, decide where to place them, and match the software and keystrokes to the user's movement and goals. Plan on one assessment or trial session.
