These toggles descend from dip switches, not latches.
Consumer electronics had dip switches behind precisely the graphical design Apple introduced for these toggles.

- Terretta 4y agoYes, exactly what I'm talking about behind the consumer facing physical UI. You can buy single DIP switches in parts catalogs: https://i.imgur.com/isfVR18.jpg https://i.imgur.com/isfVR18.jpg https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CUI-Devices/DS01-254-L-01BE?qs=wnTfsH77Xs4oJE51LF1cMQ%3D%3D https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CUI-Devices/DS01-254-L-...
