Am no expert on Switch control, yet your request surely deserves some response.


I don't know if you can use Switch Control to control the external keyboard. See Apple support's article:

Use Switch Control on your device to control another Apple device - Apple Support


If it helps at all, you can change how the keys respond on an external keyboard

Below are the most recent (iOS17) Switch Control articles from Apple Support:
