Toggling buttons are often a very poor way to control something. If you don't have an immediately obvious indication of which state it's in, you might turn it off when you want to turn it on, or vice versa.

For several years, the TechnoKats "gear shift" control was a foot pedal that toggled between high and low gears. The drivers eventually decided that it would be better to use separate "go high" and "go low" buttons on a joystick.
