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

Professional guidance helps The box itself plugs in and works with Clicker right away. But it is only one piece of a switch setup. The real results depend on choosing the right switch, positioning it well, and setting up the software for how the person moves. Help from a professional makes that go much better, though it isn't strictly required.

What it is

Summary

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

The Crick USB Switch Box connects one or more assistive switches to a Mac or PC through a USB lead, which is included. It works with Clicker, a popular educational and communication program, with no setup, so someone who can't use a mouse or keyboard can control the software with a switch. It is built for people who need dependable switch access across different software for learning and communication. This is the interface only, so you'll need your own switches and a switch-accessible program to get any benefit from it.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    1. Plug the USB lead into the switch box and into a USB port on your Mac or PC.
    2. Plug your switch into the box and open Clicker. It is designed to work with no setup.
  • With a guide
    1. For other switch-accessible programs, check the software's switch settings to see how it expects switch input to arrive.
    2. Test each switch in the program before the first session. Allow 15-30 minutes.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose the right switch, place it where the person can press it reliably, and set up scanning in the software. Plan on one assessment or trial session of about an hour.
