Re: Most popular switch devices



David,

There is a broad class of switches that appear as USB mouse buttons.  This includes both dedicated USB devices like the Tash USB Mini Switch, as well as simple switches that connect to a little "concentrator" that maps each switch to a different USB mouse button.

So in addition to the recommendation for supporting joystick controllers, you should definitely support anything that appears to be a USB mouse button.

Hi all, 

We are working on a scanning module for Caribou. At the moment our idea
is to support switch devices that simulate mouse buttons and keyboard
keys. In the roadmap of Caribou [0] there is a mention to "an official
switch device", which is that device?
Thanks for your help.

David.
