What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 9, 2026
The it-Send Starter Pack converts any standard wired switch (3.5mm jack) into a wireless switch and includes the USB receiver needed to make the whole system work. The transmitter clips onto or near the switch and broadcasts wirelessly up to 10 meters; the receiver plugs into a USB port on a computer and can handle up to six Simply Works-compatible devices simultaneously. This is a complete starter bundle — you get both the transmitter and receiver, so nothing extra is required to go wireless. It's particularly useful in classrooms or therapy settings where running cables to a switch creates a tripping hazard or limits positioning, and where multiple users might need switches at different locations around the same computer. The receiver is plug-and-play with no driver installation needed, but you'll still need your own existing wired switches — those are not included.
