Model specifications

Catalog leafAdaptive and switch-access controls
Exact model / identifierPretorian iSwitch wireless switch-access device.
Mechanism and primary specificationsIntegrated 75 mm switch surface; two 3.5 mm sockets for external switches; configurable switch commands and media/app functions over Bluetooth.
Host interface and compatibilityPairs directly by Bluetooth with a host that supports the documented Bluetooth access profile/functions; Pretorian describes access on iPad, iPhone, Android, and other Bluetooth-capable platforms. The host operating system and app determine which mapped actions are available.
Revision identificationRecord battery/charging condition, paired host, assigned commands, and the exact host OS and access feature tested.

Compatibility, setup & limitations

  • iSwitch communicates with a Bluetooth host rather than providing a universal wired USB switch output. Confirm the receiving platform supports the needed switch-control or keyboard/media actions.
  • The available command set and behavior vary by operating system and target app; a successful Bluetooth pairing alone does not prove that a chosen app accepts switch input.
  • External switch inputs are optional and must use appropriate 3.5 mm switch closures. The product does not itself supply user-selected external switches or mounting.
  • Pairing, sleep, and battery state affect availability. Test wake/reconnect behavior and planned scanning workflow with the actual user and host.

Preservation and service

Inspect the integral switch surface, external jacks, and charging connection. Save the host name and programmed commands before clearing pairings or restoring settings.

Do not infer platform-specific switch-control support solely from Bluetooth compatibility; verify the required OS accessibility mode separately.
