Button

A Stone Button is a block that was introduced in the Secret Friday Update 3. It takes the textures as a block of Stone. A button can be mined easily with the players hands.

The Stone Button only appears in Alpha mode. It can be crafted by placing two stone blocks in a vertical row. Like Levers and Pressure Plates, it sends a charge to an object when pressed. However, a button can only be activated by being pressed and will only stay pressed for about two seconds. After this, the charge to the object will be lost and the button will pop out, ready to be clicked again. A button can only be placed on the side of a block as well.

Like any object that gives charges, it must be next to the desired object to receive the charge (Door, Minecart Tracks etc). A length of Redstone (wire) connecting the button and the object will allow the charge to go through as well as having the button in another location.
