Features and Benefits

Protective Guard for Accuracy

The integrated guard surrounds the activation plate, reducing accidental presses caused by tremors or uncontrolled movements. Users gain confidence knowing their actions are intentional, improving independence and reducing frustration.

Large Activation Surface

A generously sized plate makes it easier for users with limited dexterity or range of motion to activate the switch. Simplifies interaction for individuals with motor challenges, ensuring reliable control.

Light-Touch Operation

Requires minimal pressure (approx. 100g) to activate, making it suitable for users with reduced strength. Less physical effort means greater comfort and accessibility for prolonged use.

Auditory & Tactile Feedback

Provides a reassuring click sound and physical response when activated. Users receive clear confirmation, reducing uncertainty and improving confidence.

Universal Compatibility

Standard 3.5 mm jack works seamlessly with all Possum environmental controllers, including Primo Pro, Qwayo 2 and Combi 4. Easy integration into existing assistive technology setups without extra adapters.
