A bite-activated switch designed for accessibility and versatility, this device can securely attach to a variety of surfaces such as handles, rails, or other stable objects. The bite mechanism provides a crisp, tactile “click” that is both satisfying and easy to activate, ensuring quick and reliable responsiveness with minimal effort. Its flexible metal rod can be bent and shaped to suit the user’s specific needs, allowing for personalized positioning and comfort. This adaptability makes it an effective and user-friendly tool for individuals who rely on alternative input methods.

Supplies

A Jack Input, wires (male/female), a switch, a water bottle silicone bite, heat wrap, heat gun, saudering gun, metal rod.

Cleaning Up Looks

Apply heat-shrink tubing over the wires to create a cleaner, more finished look while also protecting the connections. Then, align the wires along the stiff metal rod and secure them together with additional heat-shrink, allowing the rod to provide structure while still being adjustable for flexible positioning.
