Switch Device
A switch device is an adaptive-technology input device — a single or multi-button switch operated by hand, head, breath, or other body motion — used by people with severe motor impairments to operate a computer through scanning interfaces and switch control software (Apple Switch Control, Android Switch Access).
About Switch Device
