What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The iSwitch50 is a 50 mm Bluetooth switch that lets someone operate a tablet, phone, or AAC (communication) device with a single press instead of using a touchscreen. It works with iOS and Android devices, and it offers 24 programmable functions, so the press can be set up to do different jobs depending on the person and the app. It's a good fit for someone who can't reliably touch a screen but can press a larger target. This is a piece of a larger setup, not a complete solution on its own. You'll need a compatible device, and the switch has to be paired with it and programmed. Choosing the right function and positioning the switch where the person can press it comfortably usually goes better with help from an OT, SLP, or ATP.

What setup looks like
- With a guide
- Pair the switch with your device over Bluetooth, the same way you would pair any Bluetooth accessory.
- Turn on the device's switch access feature and assign the switch's functions to the actions the person needs. Allow 30-60 minutes for this and for testing.
- Position the switch where the person can press it comfortably and reliably, then try it out with the apps or AAC software they will actually use.
- With professional help
An OT, SLP, or ATP can help choose which of the 24 functions to use, set up scanning or other access methods, and find the best switch position. Plan for one or more sessions. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
