What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Finger Switch is a small wearable switch that turns a very slight finger movement into a press, so someone with limited mobility can activate a device. It takes about 15 grams of force to trigger. It measures 1½ inches long by ½ inch wide and weighs 1 ounce, and it comes with an 18-inch section of Velcro. You can position it in several ways to suit the person using it. On its own it does nothing; it works as the control for a switch-accessible toy, communicator, or other device.

What setup looks like
- Out of the box
Plug the switch into a switch-accessible device and try a light press to confirm it activates. - With a guide
- Use the included Velcro to attach the switch where the person's best, most reliable movement is, such as on a finger or hand.
- Try a few positions and adjust until the person can activate it easily without tiring. Allow about 20-30 minutes to find a comfortable placement.
- With professional help
An occupational therapist or ATP can help pick the best body site and movement, and match the switch to the device and activity. Plan on one assessment or trial session. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
