What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The it-Switch Starter Pack gives you a wireless switch and a USB receiver, so someone can trigger a computer with one easy press instead of a keyboard or mouse. The switch has a low, slanted shape with no base, so it works from many positions and takes very little effort to press. The receiver plugs into a Windows or Mac computer and can link up to six switches, with a range of up to 10 metres. The pack's size and color options aren't clear here: the switch comes in small (75mm) and large (125mm) sizes and in red, blue, green or yellow, so check which one is in the box before ordering. The switch only does something once it's paired with software or an activity that accepts switch input, so matching it to the person and the task is where an OT or SLP helps most.
