Big Buddy Button Red switch Ø115 mm

The AbleNet Big Red Switch is a robust pushbutton switch featuring a very large activation surface of approximately Ø115 mm, designed for users who benefit from a clearly defined, easy-to-reach control point. Its generous size makes the Big Red especially suitable for users with limited precision, larger movement patterns, or reduced motor control.

The Big Red is widely used in assistive technology and AAC solutions (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), for example on work surfaces, tables, or fixed installations where there is sufficient space for one prominent switch. The switch provides clear tactile and audible feedback, ensuring reliable and predictable activation.

Within wheelchair applications, the Big Red is primarily used for a single specific function, such as activating one control or auxiliary function. Due to its physical size, using multiple Big Red switches side by side is often impractical, particularly on compact trays or control panels.

When combined with switch interfaces or RBI modules (Remote Button Interface), the Big Red is best suited for simple configurations where one clearly distinguishable switch is preferred over multiple smaller buttons.

The switch is equipped with a 3.5 mm mono connector, making it compatible with most switch interfaces, communication devices, and wheelchair modules. Its robust construction makes the Big Red suitable for intensive daily use.
