Piko Button 50

Professional guidance helps The hardware itself is simple — plug in and press — but selecting the right switch size, activation force, and placement for a specific user's motor profile, and integrating it into a meaningful AT setup, genuinely benefits from OT or ATP involvement. Using a switch as AT without professional guidance often leads to poor positioning or mismatched device pairing, reducing effectiveness.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

The Piko Button 50 is a 50mm diameter button switch that sends an activation signal to any device with a 3.5mm mono switch jack when pressed. It's a good fit for someone who needs a mid-sized activation surface — larger than a small momentary switch but not as large as a Big Red — and has enough motor control to press a button reliably. This is just the switch itself, not a complete solution: you'll need a compatible switch-adapted device such as an AAC device, adapted toy, computer interface, or environmental control unit to actually use it. AbleNet builds these to be tough, so durability in high-use school or therapy settings is a genuine strength, but check that your target device accepts a 3.5mm mono input before purchasing.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the 3.5mm cable into the switch jack on your compatible device — the switch is ready to use immediately.
  • With professional help
    1. An occupational therapist (OT) or ATP can assess switch placement, mounting position, and activation force to match the user's motor profile.
    2. Expect 1–2 sessions to optimize positioning and integrate into the broader AT setup.
