In my day (80s space Lego) we just had the one that looks like a screen of text with 3 buttons on the right. And the one that just had coloured rectangular buttons. And that was enough to run our space stations and LL928s. We didn't need any of that fancy stuff they've got now.

The blue one with a white-on-green cross was definitely Space, too. Maybe a couple of others.

Putting them together like this and photographing them well really elevates them.

SPACESHIP!

(sorry, couldn't help it)

But yes, I recall that very same brick - I had a bunch of them, always thought we needed more variety.

We had them too. First the grey ones, later fancy blue ones!

There were also button panels on flat 2x1s. This article seems to have forgotten those.
