Introducing the Cosmo Switch Bluetooth interface

The Cosmo Switch is a unique light-up, multi-colour Bluetooth switch interface for tablets, mobile phones and computers. It is highly responsive, making it very easy to activate regardless of your motor abilities. The 'Cosmoid' lights up in a variety of colours, making it very engaging and providing visual feedback with every press. Cosmo Switch features only one 'Cosmoid', but to purchase multiple to work in tandem for inclusive music-making in SEND settings, see Cosmo Explore (three cosmoids) and Cosmo Excel (six cosmoids).

Cosmo Switch provides access to all switch accessible apps or software on iOS, OS X, Chromebooks, Windows and Android devices. You can also use it to navigate Smart TV and Smart Screens or connect to IFTTT to control your calls, lights and more, or even control the volume, play/pause and navigate between tracks on media apps like Netflix, Spotify, or YouTube.

Switch is brilliant for interacting with AAC apps - communicate with Proloquo2Go, CBoard, Grid from Smartbox, Clicker, Widgit Online, TD Snap, MindExpress and more AAC apps. Discover ultimate accessibility with Cosmo Switch.
