The Round Touch 60 Switch can control 3.5mm Audio outputs like in the Xbox Adaptive Controller and other switch adapted products. The cost in part per unit is around $6 USD and it requires no programming. This device may help users with limited hand strength and dexterity that find it challenging to press mechanical switches.

This is an open-source assistive technology, so anyone is free to build it. All of the files and instructions required to build a Round Touch 60 Switch are contained within this repository. Refer to the Maker Checklist below.
If you would like to obtain a Round Touch 60 Switch , you may submit a build request through the MMC Library Page. The requestor is responsible for the cost of materials and any shipping.
If you have the skills and equipment to build this device, and would like to donate your time to create the switch for someone who needs it, visit the MMC Maker Wanted section.
The Bill of Materials lists all of the parts and components required to build a Round Touch 60 Switch. The electronic components may be available locally, but will probably need to be ordered online.
Print the components for the switch tester case and choose an option for the case.
All of the files and individual print files can be in the /Build_Files/3D_Printing_Files folder.
Reference the assembly guide for the tools and steps required to build each portion.
