pushbutton
Press to activate
Pushbutton describes something operated by pressing a button: pushbutton controls, pushbutton ignition.
The term often implies ease or automation—requiring minimal effort or skill: pushbutton warfare.
As a noun (usually push button or push-button), it's the button itself, a small switch activated by finger pressure.
