Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Professional guidance helps The adapter itself pairs like any Bluetooth device, but it only does something once switches are plugged in and the device is set up for switch access. The real benefit depends on picking the right switch, placing it well, and tuning scanning or selection in the operating system or communication software. Someone could manage this alone, but an AT professional will usually get a better result, so professional help is recommended.

What it is

Summary

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

The AirSwitch is a small wireless switch adapter that connects over Bluetooth, so someone who uses switches can operate a phone, tablet, or computer without a cable. You can pair one or two switches with a device and use them to move around the operating system, open apps like Netflix, YouTube, and WhatsApp, and work with communication software such as Grid 3, either by scanning through cells or selecting them directly. It works with Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, and iOS and reaches about 10 metres, so the person can sit or move a bit away from the device. It runs on a CR2032 battery, which you supply.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Insert the CR2032 battery and pair the AirSwitch with your device through its Bluetooth settings.
  • With a guide
    1. Plug in one or two switches and test that each press does what you expect on the device.
    2. Set up any scanning or selection options in the device's accessibility settings or in the communication software (for example, Grid 3). Plan on 30-60 minutes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose the right switch, find a position the person can use reliably, and set up scanning for their access method. Allow one or two sessions.
