A control button for installation on a touchscreen display responding upon contact of an electrical conductor. The control button comprises a central portion comprising a touch sensitive component which has an electrical characteristic changed when touched by a user, and a body comprising electrical contacts and biasing device. The control button adopts at least one of a non-conducting position and a conducting position, whereby the biasing device biases the control button toward the non-conducting position. Upon pressure being applied by a user over the central portion, the control button moves from the non-conducting position until the control button reaches the conducting position, whereby in the conducting position an electrical circuit is completed from the touch sensitive component to the touchscreen display through the electrical contacts. The control button is further mounted to a gaming machine.
