Mechanical switches are activated by pressing or grasping the switch with movement of a certain body part. Wireless switches are also available.
Who May Benefit From This Switch?: Mechanical switches are the most commonly used type of switch and provide both auditory (in the form of sounds or clicks) and tactile feedback when pressed. This aids the user when first learning to use the switch, and it can also be useful for students with visual or cognitive impairments to receive this feedback. The body part that serves as the point of activation must have the strength required to press the switch in order to activate it.
