Factors to Consider
The Jelly Bean Switch can be activated using fingers, arm, leg or other body movements. The switch can be positioned out of line of vision, as the loud click feedback will alert the user that the switch has been activated.
More pressure (approximately double) is required when pressing at the centre of the upper activating surface than at the side edges. This may make the switch difficult to activate for users with limited movement range or strength.
The smooth edges on the activating surface reduces the risk of skin damage on activation.
The Jelly Bean switch should be secured to a stable surface with, for example Hook and Loop tape, to aid switch stability during activation.
The bright colours make the Jelly Bean Switch easy to use for choice selection.
