New TPU Switch: Wide

For people who want to operate ICT devices using a switch.

How

This shape is designed specifically for the earphone-jack circuit board sold by the ICT Rehabilitation Research Lab (NPO). Taking advantage of the properties of TPU, you simply fit the dedicated circuit board into the one-piece 3D-printed part to make a switch easily, with no soldering required. There are three types: "Mini," "Long," and "Wide." This model is the "Wide."
