Hi Polly,
Sounds like a great switch user! The Smartbox ones are pretty small:

Not the most robust things in the world though: May be worth sealing them somehow if they are going to be body worn. Plus, the counter-side of no wires is the need for batteries...
Something smaller could be made, but it would get into making something yourself (adapting existing boards) I think.
Cheers
Simon

Subject: wireless switches
Dear All
I'm looking for a small wireless switch - ideally I'd like a wireless spec switch but this doesn't exist, as far as I am aware. I have a visually impaired client who is using 2 switch audio-scanning to access her communication device (Motion Tablet). She wears the 2 spec switches on her forearm and the device is mounted on the same side of her wheelchair, in line with the armrest (screen parallel), but the wires complicate transfers etc.
I can only find large wireless switches e.g. jelly beamer/big beamer/smoothie which are too big for what I need. Does anyone know of anything smaller?
Many thanks
Polly
