Professional guidance helps The switch is simple hardware, but it only helps as part of a larger setup. Finding the right body site, the right position, and the right device takes some skill. Most people can get it working alone, but results are noticeably better with help from an OT, SLP, or ATP.

What it is

Summary

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

The Ping Pong Switch is a light-touch switch that needs very little force to activate. That makes it a fit for someone with limited movement who can reliably press with a small motion, such as a head movement. It's built to resist water and moisture and to hold up to daily use at school, in therapy, or at home. It plugs into any device with a 3.5mm mono switch input. A mounting set (gooseneck arm, Super Clamp, and Mini Ball & Socket mount) is offered as an option so you can position it exactly where the user can reach it. On its own it's just the switch, so it only does something once it's connected to a switch-accessible device.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Plug the switch into a device's 3.5mm switch input to check that it responds to a light press.
  • With a guide
    1. If you add the optional mounting system, attach the clamp to a stable surface, fit the gooseneck arm, and attach the switch. Adjust the position until the user can activate it comfortably (about 15-30 minutes).
    2. Connect the switch to the target device and set up the device's switch access settings, following the device's own instructions.
  • With professional help
    An OT, SLP, or ATP can help pick the best body site (such as the head), decide where to mount the switch, and match it to the user's goals and device. Expect a session or two to fine-tune the position and test it. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
