Device Information
Overview
The Rocket Switch Interface enables users to operate their computer or smartphone using up to two assistive switches. This compact switch interface is connected to your device using a USB to USB-C adapter (or whichever connector style your device has).
How To Use
There are several ways of using this switch interface. A short, 1-second press will perform the action you assigned in your computer or phone setting.
To change the operation mode, press switch 1 (left) and hold for 4 seconds to cycle through each mode.
- Switch Mode (teal light indicator): This mode can be used with a switch control software on Windows and Android. Switch 1 outputs the A key and switch 2 outputs the B key.
