Makes things easier for my granddaughter
The switch is for my granddaughter who’s handicap? It gives her the ability to turn on her toys or other things that she pleases. All I have to do is break into the toy and wired in and she’s able to be like just everybody else.

Works great
Smaller than I expected but still does the trick! Cord is very long and always gets tangled with others. It is very light and very clicky! Which I guess is what you want lol just very easy to click

Doesn’t last but gotta have it
I have yet to find a switch that is as easy to press as this one. Unfortunately, the switch usually starts glitching out on me after about 9 to 12 months of usage as a primary mouse button. I've never had one of them simply die. The main symptom I see is duplicated activations—that is, whenever I click once, multiple clicks are registered. It starts gradually and becomes more and more of a problem until the switch becomes unusable.I've tried using compressed air to clean them but that doesn't seem to help (in one case it made it worse). I've accumulated quite a little graveyard of these switches at this point. I'm fortunate to be able to afford to buy them whenever one goes out as they are quite pricey. Many similarly-disabled peeps can’t as they’re on a fixed budget.That said, I haven't found any other switch that's suitable for me. I'd love to because I feel a bit trapped, but I will say that if you contact AbleNet they may give you a replacement for your broken switch. I think I did that at least once or twice.I may try an extreme cleaning process like submerging in an alcohol solution. If I do I’ll report back with the results.

Easy to use, hard to mount for almost fully paralyzed individual
Getting creative with mounting but this is the only switch our quadriplegic can use as it requires little strength. He mostly uses eyegaze but this is a great backup and also works with eyegaze if he’s having eye trouble. We just have to work on ways to keep it on his hand or by his mouth.

I love it, I just wish it would last longer
I order this switch quite often, it works for a while and then all of a sudden it stops. It is the only way I can operate my cell phone.

$30 switch for $85
Ablenet switches are definitely overpriced because they have the adaptive/disability market cornered. You can get a bite switch for $30-$40, there’s no reason this switch should cost $85. They are must haves for many though and do what they are designed to do so people are forced to pay their prices… I see that they have now raised their price to $95. Nothing but price gouging the Disability community.
