Buttons are a switch mechanism for controlling objects in the Baldi's Basics series.
Description
Buttons appear as orange rubbery spheres attached to gray rectangles.
Functions
Pressing the button will change or activate nearby structures in several ways:
- Slowly rotates roto-halls.
- Changes the direction of conveyor belts.
- Opens/closes lockdown doors.
While conveyor belts will change the direction right after pressing the button, the player has to wait for roto-halls and lockdown doors to be completely activated in order to reactivate them.
Locations

Other appearances
- In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, four buttons are attached on the walls in the puzzle room in the glitched school. Every time the player presses one of the buttons, the number on the left will go up by 1, but after the number reaches 9, it will turn back to 0. When it is pressed, there is no sprite for it, but the button makes a clicking sound.
- In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, there are only two buttons; one for the conveyor belt in a hallway where it is, and one for the roto-hall found in the faculty room with a Swinging Door Lock near it.
- In Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, buttons are introduced on floor 1.
Trivia
