elevator button

Lift panel control

An elevator button is a push button inside or outside an elevator car that registers a request—to summon the elevator to a floor or to select a destination.

The buttons typically light up when pressed: She pressed the elevator button for the lobby.

Figuratively, something that pushes your elevator buttons triggers a predictable emotional response.
