> Wireless connectivity lets you stay connected to the computer even while carrying short distances (eg, bathroom).

> Class II Bluetooth connectivity up to 10 m (30 feet)!

> Wireless by Impulse aesthetically looks better than many other similar switches available today.

> Wireless electrode design that promotes active ultra clean EMG signals and reduces interference.

> Incredibly fast response time (<30>

> Integrated with the leading providers of speech generation systems.

Impulse switch have a price of 2100 $ is 99 $ more for the pack of 120 electrodes. In total 2199$ , a major drawback for most users who want to buy it.
