What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
Simply Works is a wireless switch set that lets someone control a computer by pressing a single switch from up to 30 feet away. The kit includes the it-Switch, which the person presses, and the it-Receive, a small receiver that plugs into the computer's USB port. Because there's no cable between the two, the switch can sit wherever the person can reach it most comfortably, such as on a tray or a wheelchair mount. It's a good fit for someone who can't use a regular keyboard or mouse but can reliably press a switch. The kit gives you the way in, but you'll still need software on the computer that works with a switch, like a switch-accessible communication or computer access program.

- With professional help
An occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist, or assistive technology professional can help choose where to place the switch, check that the person can press it reliably, and match it to the right software. Plan on one or more sessions.
