Round Touch 60 Switch

The Round Touch 60 Switch can control 3.5mm Audio outputs like in the Xbox Adaptive Controller and other switch adapted products. The cost in part per unit is around $6 USD and it requires no programming. This device may help users with limited hand strength and dexterity that find it challenging to press mechanical switches.
