Description
Tap Uno was born to answer a recurring problem: commercial switches have a fixed activation force, often too high for someone with significant muscle weakness and too low for someone with involuntary movements.
The spring can be replaced and a preload screw lets you set activation between 40 and 250 grams with a screwdriver, right in the person's home, during the assessment. Feedback is twofold: a mechanical click you can feel, and an LED that lights when the contact closes — useful for parents and support workers to see whether activation really happened.
The shell is 3D printed in PETG, which stands up to cleaning with alcohol, and the cable leaves through a strain relief, because breakage at the exit point is by far the most common failure in aids of this kind.
Who it is for
People with remaining motor control of a finger, a hand, the chin or a foot, including those with tremor or involuntary movement.
Features
Force adjustable 40-250 g
Set with a screwdriver, without taking the switch apart.
Twofold feedback
Mechanical click you can feel, plus an LED confirming activation.
60 mm surface
Wide and slightly concave, guiding the finger to the centre.
Strain-relieved cable
Reinforced grommet, cable replaceable without soldering.
Easy to clean
PETG resists isopropyl alcohol and common detergents.
Open design
3D files and schematics available, repairable anywhere.
