Greetings!

Can anyone suggest the best switch control device that is compatible with
desktop, Android and iOS devices. I need this for my accessibility testing
project.

I don't know if it's the "best" but my daughter's schools and therapists
all get their stuff through AbleNet:
https://www.ablenetinc.com/technology/switches. At home, we have the Blue2
Double-switch, and it's actually not my favorite and we just plug the jelly
beans in it.

I'm not a switch control user -- but we have used the Blue2 model for testing -- it's on the link Marissa provided from Ablenetinc. This model allows for 2 external switches (if larger/different targets are needed), and works with Bluetooth so it can be used on mobile devices -- but also works on Windows. It has a rechargeable battery so it's portable.

Hey Jonathan,

Yes agree, www.ablenetinc.com has wide range of devices to select from. I
am sure I will pick one from there :) Thanks for your response. Cheers!
