agree  Ingrid Grzeszik

agree  Elvira Stoianov: in my translations Taster always referred to a grooup of buttons (like those used for opening windows)
3 hrs
agree  hschl: Pushbutton is the one.
4 hrs
agree  Dietrich Herrmann, MD, PhD, MBA: But it has to be MOMENTARY pushbutton as JC said because in German a Taster is only on/off as as you push it - which is quite different from a Schalter or switch.
