What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Simple Switch Box is a small USB adapter that lets one or two standard switches send space bar and enter key commands to a computer — no software installation required, just plug into USB and connect your switches. It's designed for people who need to operate switch-accessible software but can't use a keyboard or mouse, particularly in educational or therapy settings where basic two-switch scanning is the goal. This is not a standalone solution: you need separate switches (with standard 3.5mm jacks), a computer, and software that responds to spacebar and enter inputs — it works well with Inclusive Technology's own SwitchIt! and Maker software titles. The important limitation is that it only sends those two specific keystrokes, so if your software requires any other key inputs or more complex switch signals, you'll need a more capable interface.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Plug the USB connector into a computer — no drivers or software install needed.
- Connect one or two switches to the 3.5mm jack sockets and begin using immediately.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT), SLP, or AT specialist should confirm that the target software only requires space/enter inputs before purchasing.
- A school AT coordinator or therapist should select appropriate switch placement, switch type, and scanning settings within the software to match the user's motor access needs — typically completed in 1-2 sessions.
