What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
ToyBox is Windows software that lets you run up to four switch-adapted toys or devices from the computer screen. You choose one to four on-screen buttons, set them up in one or two rows, and change how they look to suit the user. It can work in direct, timed, or on/off modes, and it can play a sound when a device turns on. It also supports scanning with one or two switches, with adjustable timing, so it works as a place to teach and practice that skill. You'll need the toys or devices themselves, already adapted for switch use, and some way to connect them to the computer.
