Switch Access

There are two hardware devices that connect switches such as the Big Red, Jelly Bean and Specs switch to PC computers. These are:

The Mouser 3 has a PS/2 connection and plugs into the back of the PC (or A7000) instead of your PS/2 mouse, the mouse then plugs into the Mouser 3 where a second PS/2 mouse or mouse alternative can also be connected.

The Mouser 3 has three 3.5mm jack plug ports, the middle one is used for A7000's. Any switch with a 3.5mm jack plug connection (adapters are available to convert from 1/4") can be connected to these ports and will then emulate the respective mouse button, for example a switch connected to the left port will emulate the left mouse button. When using Switch Access via the Mouser 3 it is important to check that the software you want to switch activate can be access solely by the mouse buttons without having to move the mouse.

The Serial Switch Box connects to a 9 pin Serial port on PC computers and allows one or two switches with a 3.5mm jack plug connector (adapters are available to convert from 1/4") to be connected. Switch access via the Serial Switch Box must be used with software which contains drivers built into it for the Switch Box. The following software has been developed for Switch access and will work with the Serial Switch Box.
