Multi-
Switches
AbleNet offers a broad array of switch technology options to meet the wide-ranging needs of persons with disabilities.
Single switches offer simple on/off input or one-click functionality, while multi switches offer multiple distinct switch
clicks when used with compatible devices. When choosing a switch, consider where it will be positioned, how it will be
accessed, and what type of use it will endure. Wireless switches provide the same great access as our other switches,
but without the hassle of the wire. Wireless switches typically work up to 30-feet away from the receiver and device being
activated. For example, switches with a low activation force or travel will be more sensitive than those with higher ratings
in these same areas.
