It looked anti-vandal to me with it’s low profile, chamfered edges, and all-metal face. It would be difficult to get leverage against these to damage them or rip them out of the hole.
A €1 button is made of plastic and is easily smashed to bits.
It’s not exactly featureless.
In electronics terms this is a switch.
Pushbutton
Momentary (meaning it doesn’t remain in the pressed state when you stop touching it)
Panel mount
Anti Vandal
Non-illuminated (I’m guessing based on the photo)
Green
There aren’t so many green switches as red or black, so that can help the search.
It’s also probably something readily available since this doesn’t look like a device built in the thousands.
I’ll bet it’s this one or a different size from the same manufacturer:

Of course it could just as easily be something sourced in China if I’m wrong and this control panel is mass produced.
Ha! Mine’s the same! My job was dumping them and said take it if you want it. A v1 TP-Link TL-SG105. I don’t think I’ve used mine in at least 10 years but I can’t bear to throw it away.
Classic blue 5-port gigabit switch. Chef’s kiss!
These things will be with us until the heat death of the universe. Still chugging along.
There’s a French First Empire joke in here somewhere.
The roads might be safer if we marked speedos like this
Makes perfect sense! The sharp corners on most rulers like this aren’t very pocket-friendly.
What’s the story with this ruler. It seems to be have markings for measuring up to 20.5cm of length, but it’s labeled from 10 to 30. Why does it not start from zero?
Moonraker has a similar scene.
Did you maybe mean supercilious?
Edit: It seems like OP wants something like “supercilious incompetent”
That’s a nice looking switch. Wow. I bet it makes a nice thwack.
It looks like there are two ground/earth wires on one ground post and two hots on the corresponding hot. Two circuits are being powered through the one switch. Would need to see more of the device guts to understand why.
I think that would be classified as a Rocker switch with a Paddle actuator.
From the back it looks like a DPST switch.
Double/Dual Pole means it switches two separate pairs of conductors at once. Many circuits only need to switch the hot or the ground wire and use a Single Pole switch. A SPST switch has 2 terminals on the back. This one has 4 so it can switche both the hot and ground at the same time.
Single Throw means it’s got only off and on. No other position. Dual Throw would have 3 positions, so a SPDT would have 3 terminals on the back, and a DPDT switch has 6 terminals on the back.
Rectangular
Panel mount
Recessed or Inset
Any numbers or markings on the back? I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t available any more. To me it looks like something from the 1970s-1990s.
There might be markings on the circuit board that help date it.
