Uh, no, we're talking about a pushbutton.  A pushbutton is general
(may people make them!) and widely applicable.

What is an 'analog button' anyway?  Aren't all buttons analog?  The
only type of button is a "pushbutton"

"A button is a simple physical mechanism for controlling some aspect
of a machine. Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually
plastic or metal. The surface is usually flat or shaped to accommodate
the human finger or hand, so as to be easily depressed or pushed. When
the button is pushed, an event (usually electrical in nature) takes
place; for example, an electrical circuit might be completed."
