What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The SimplyWorks Receive 2 is a wireless USB receiver hub that allows up to six SimplyWorks switches or other transmitters to connect wirelessly to a computer — no cables running across the room, no dedicated driver software to install. It's designed for classroom or therapy settings where multiple users need switch access to a computer simultaneously, such as a group of students taking turns activating switch-adapted software. This is not a standalone solution — it requires at least one (and typically several) SimplyWorks-compatible wireless transmitters and switches purchased separately, plus a Windows PC or Mac with a USB port. One practical note: the Receive 2 only works over USB and cannot be adapted to older PS/2 ports, so confirm your computer has a standard USB-A or USB-C port before ordering.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Plug the Receive 2 into an available USB port on your PC or Mac — the computer will recognize it automatically without installing drivers. - With a guide
- Pair each SimplyWorks wireless transmitter to the receiver following the channel pairing instructions in the SimplyWorks documentation.
- Test each switch or transmitter within the expected 10-metre range to confirm wireless connectivity before your session.
- Allow 15–30 minutes for initial pairing of multiple transmitters. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An assistive technology professional (ATP) or special education teacher should configure switch-accessible software to match each transmitter's input signal to the correct user action.
- For multi-user classroom setups, an OT or ATP can advise on optimal transmitter placement and software settings — expect one planning session of 30–60 minutes.
