Seamless, hands-free control

In this clever setup, a USB switcher and a SwitchBot have been tailored for a person who does not have use of their hands and relies on a Quadstick as their primary input device.

The USB switcher allows the Quadstick to be shared between both a PC and a PlayStation 5.

With a single press—handled by the SwitchBot—the user can switch control between the two systems without needing to move cables, touch devices, or ask for help. This is key to maintaining independence and a smooth experience across gaming, communication, and productivity.

The SwitchBot takes accessibility a step further. Connected to the user’s iPhone and activated via Siri voice commands, it lets them control the physical button on the USB switcher just by speaking—no hand movement needed.

Together, these tools give the user fast, hands-free control across platforms, allowing them to move between their PC and PS5 easily and continue using their Quadstick without interruption. It’s a great example of how combining smart home tech with adaptive devices can transform independence and quality of life.
