It is highly responsive, making it very easy to activate regardless of your motor abilities. The switch lights up in a variety of colours, making it very engaging and providing visual feedback with every press.

The Cosmo Switch provides access to all switch accessible apps or software on iOS, OS X, Chromebooks, Windows and Android devices.
