This multiple switch requires a small range of motion, light touch and targeting ability and is suitable for individuals with fine motor skills and good targeting ability. The five switches are small (8mm in diameter) and activated by pressing down on buttons. Tactile and auditory feedback. It is not meant for harsh or rugged environments.

Available in two versions:

• With USB connector
  This version enables the user to control the computer cursor or emulate a joystick.
• With 9-pin D female connector
  This is one in the range of “Multiple Switches” by TASH. A Multiple Switch is five switches in one, and is used to control any device that requires five single switches for operation.
  
  Note: This is not a standard computer joystick – but is a switch allowing for five different switch activations by moving the joystick.
  
  Choose the 9-pin D female connector primarily for wheelchair control. The 9 pin D female version can be adapted to:
  
  • Output to five single switch “mono” plugs for controlling any five devices where each is normally operated by a single switch. The adapter you need for this is the CA-6 adaptor.
    
    Note: The 9 pin D female connector is not for a serial connection.
    
  • Use with a computer with a USB port to control mouse directional movements, as well as mouse functions such as click, press and hold and release. To do this, you need to combine it with the USB Mouse Mover adaptor, or the 9-Pin to USB Cable.
