What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
Piko Buttons are compact, waterproof pushbutton switches that send an activation signal through a standard 3.5mm mono jack when pressed. They're designed for people who need a durable, reliable switch in environments where moisture or rigorous handling is a concern — think swimming therapy, messy sensory play, outdoor settings, or frequent sanitizing in clinical spaces. These are just the switches themselves; you'll need a compatible switch-accessible device (AAC device, adapted toy, computer interface, or environmental control) with a 3.5mm switch input to complete the setup. Available in 30mm and 50mm activation sizes, so you can match the button to the user's motor control precision — smaller for more targeted activation, larger for broader access.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Plug the Piko Button into any device with a 3.5mm mono switch jack — it activates on press immediately. - With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or ATP can assess which button size (30mm vs. 50mm) best matches the user's motor control and positioning needs.
- Placement and mounting of the switch relative to the user's access site should be evaluated — expect 1-2 sessions to optimize positioning and integrate into the full AT system.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
