About Hook+

Hook+ is a switch interface accessory designed for use with Switch 
Control found in iOS 7 or later. Unlike some switch interfaces, 
Hook+ does not send emulated keystrokes (e.g. Space, Enter, 1, 
etc.) for switch clicks. Instead, Hook+ uses Apple’s new Assistive 
Switch Events for switch clicks. 

Using Assistive Switch Events instead of emulated keystrokes for 
iOS devices provides the following benefits:

 

› Switch Control can be auto configured based on the number of 

switches attached to the iOS device

 

› An external keyboard can be used in conjunction with Hook+ 

without having switch clicks misregister when certain keyboard 
keys are activated

 

› Switch interface accessories using Assistive Switch Events are 

fully compatible with iOS Switch Control and apps that have 
implemented the Apple iOS UIAccessibility protocol

Hook+ is compatible with iOS 7 or later and most apps that 
implement the Apple iOS UIAccessibility protocol. iOS device must 
have a Lightning Receptacle.
