Light Touch Switch

The Light Touch Switch is a cost-effective 3D printable accessibility switch based on an initial design by Kevin Cross . It's an assistive device used by people with physical disabilities to control electronics (e.g. phones, computers, adapted toys, game controls, etc.).

This particular switch is well-suited for use by a finger. It can be plugged into any standard 3.5 mm AT interface and even the Xbox Adaptive Controller.
