Comment on Undo codes for Japanese elevator floor buttons

Comments

In Korean elevators the standard is to press the button once to cancel. Like a normal press. I wonder if these button press conventions are localized.

I've stayed in a hotel in Mexico that had this feature.

FWIW, I didn't recognize the manufacturer, and it's been too long for me to recall it offhand, but I thought it was a really neat feature. Very useful if you accidentally hit the wrong button or if some five-year-old wanted to see all the lights.

I've never seen a European elevator do this and I've used a lot of them in many different countries here.

People also tend to push the button here without looking whether it's already lit so this would probably backfire.
