And a custom button is certainly not the worst offender, though it's probably the most commonly cited example. A blind friend just needed sighted help to complete a purchase, because the process included a custom checkbox with no ARIA support. At least with a button that's not identified as such, the user can figure out that it's a button from the name and context, and use their screen reader's ability to simulate a mouse click. Unless the buttons are implemented using spans rather than divs, and there's more than one of them in the same block element.
