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

Professional guidance helps The switch itself is simple, but it only helps as part of a larger setup. Getting real benefit depends on where it is placed, how it is mounted, and how it connects to the device. A therapist or AT professional can make those choices much better, though a family could get a basic setup working alone.

What it is

Summary

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

The Jelly Bean Switch is a push switch with a 65mm top that someone presses to trigger whatever it is plugged into. That big surface suits a person with limited hand control. It comes with red, yellow, green, and blue tops you can swap, and it gives a click sound and a tactile feel when pressed. The 180cm cable ends in a 3.5mm mono plug, so it connects to switch-accessible devices such as AAC devices, adapted toys, environmental controls, and screen-scanning software. It does nothing on its own: you need something to plug it into, and a therapist can help match the switch and its placement to the person.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the 3.5mm cable into a switch-accessible toy or device and press the switch to see if it responds.
  • With a guide
    1. Pick a colored top and snap it on, then decide where the switch will sit so the person can press it comfortably.
    2. Attach it with adhesive or Velcro, or use a compatible mount, so it stays put during use.
    3. Connect it to a device or switch interface and adjust the device's switch settings. Allow about 30 minutes for a first setup. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose where to place the switch and how to mount it, and can set up scanning or other access methods. Plan on a session or two to fine-tune this.
