This is a list of Mitsubishi Electric elevator fixtures found in most part of Asia, as well as Europe and South America. Note that all of the fixtures listed below do not have official names.
These fixtures consist of simple non-illuminating black buttons and the floor buttons have lamps next to them which function as floor indicators. The exterior floor indicator is just a metal sheet with the letters cut on it.

Pop out buttons
These non-illuminating black buttons would latched on when pressed and popped out when the elevator stopped at the selected floor. They could also be pulled out to cancel car call.
Small white buttons
These are small white buttons with the number printed on them. These buttons also doubles as an analogue floor indicator as there was no interior floor indicator. Each button light up as the car goes up and down, but don't light up if pressed. By 1966, a separate interior floor indicator above the door became a standard feature[1]; this feature was most likely only available in Japan, it is unknown if this was also available outside Japan. By 1969, the landing hall station was changed to what would later become the 1970s fixtures, but the interior fixtures remained mostly unchanged[1].

Hall and car floor indicator
These were all analogue displays. There are three variants of these floor indicators; one is a simple floor counter with illuminating numbers (which look very similar to Hitachi), one with illuminating circles, and one with illuminating squares. The illuminating circle variant ones were mostly used on the hall/landing stations, positioned vertically above the call button. The illuminating square variant is the rarer ones; they were commonly found in mid and high-rise elevators. Note that interior floor indicators were not available for many standard Mitsubishi elevators in the 1960s, especially those that were installed outside Japan. As the result, the floor buttons inside doubles as an analogue indicator.

Floor indicators
Mitsubishi used analogue display floor indicators in the 1970s. There are two types of indicators; one is a long black display with illuminating numbers, and the second one is a set of illuminating squares with the number and arrow printed on them. These are found on either the landing station or above the landing door for the outside, and above the car door for the inside. On some elevators, the landing stations for intermediate floors has only direction indicators instead of a full number set. There are also elevators which did not have an interior floor indicator. For these elevators, the floor buttons inside doubles as a floor indicator, with each button illuminate as the car goes up and down, but does not illuminate if it is pressed. The reason for this is probably because an interior floor indicator was an optional feature at that time.

Early-late 1990s fixtures
These fixtures were made from the early until late 1990s. The buttons are micro switch based black square buttons with an orange illuminating number/symbol. Typeface used for the buttons was also changed from Univers to Helvetica. Both the door open and close buttons illuminates when pressed; the door open button, however, lights up green. The floor indicators use orange LED dot matrix displays which are LCD based[10], with a flashing number when the car is arriving. Dewhurst chassis were also provided as well as landlords request for this batch of fixtures.[3]
Mitsubishi made two different types of landing and car stations for these fixtures. The first one is just a basic stainless steel panel that is flushed, while the second one is a black wavy panel that is surface mounted. Both of these panels used the same type of buttons and floor indicators. There is also a smaller car station designed for people on wheelchair.
These fixtures were used in Mitsubishi GPS, GPM and several other unidentified elevator models.

The buttons are square, with a braille plate attached to them. There is a white square on the button which light up orange when pressed, but this was replaced by an illuminating number for elevators installed in Japan, like the ones found in Kansai International Airport, Osaka. The floor indicators used digital segments display.

Arrival chimes
Mitsubishi had been using mechanical bell from the early 1970s to late 1990s. By the mid 1980s, a two-tone electronic chime began appearing, which has becoming a standard feature since then. These electronic chimes sounds similar to some Otis chimes on that period but their ringing mode is quite different because Mitsubishi's chimes would ring again when you push the call buttons again (if the elevator arrived at the floor where you called and the doors opened) but Otis's chimes would ring once only when the doors open.[15]. There was also a reversed version of this chime, usually for indicating down calls. There was also a four-tone electronic chime, which also comes with a reversed version to indicate down calls. These chimes are now used on the Shanghai Mitsubishi elevators.
Late 1990s to early 2000s
These fixtures came out in 1997, and were used in Mitsubishi GPS-III, Mitsubishi GPM-III (for Asian market), GPS-IIIMZ, GPS-BIII, GPQ and GPX elevators. Mitsubishi stopped making these fixtures for new installations in the mid 2000s, except for GPM-IIIMZ high-rise modernization until around the early 2010s (probably 2011) when they were officially discontinued. In addition, Mitsubishi Hong Kong also provided Dewhurst chassis based on client's request[3].
Mitsubishi made two types of car station for these fixtures. The first one is just a standard flush mounted stainless steel panel, and the second one is a dark grey surface mounted panel. Landing stations were either flush or surface mounted, depending on the client's choice. There were also smaller car stations designed wheelchair users.

LCD floor indicators with a new interface
These fixtures were used in Mitsubishi Elenessa, NexWay, early Mitsubishi NEXIEZ, and GFC-L2 (freight elevator) series elevators. They were also used in the ELEMOTION (low to mid-rise) and NexWay (high-rise) modernization series. By the mid 2010s, these fixtures were no longer available for new installations. However, they are still used in certain NexWay-S, NEXIEZ-MR and -MRL as well as GFC-L2 series elevators.
Barrel shaped buttons
These are plastic, barrel shaped buttons with an orange illuminating number/symbol. These buttons uses Gill Sans Medium typeface for the numbers, and Helvetica for the letters. There are two versions of these buttons. The first one is the normal version, with a raised halo and an illuminating tactile. The second one is a flat button, without a tactile. On elevators with side mounted car stations, the button for the main/ground floor is green, and sticks out than the rest of the buttons. In addition, the door open button is wider, to avoid pressing the door close button by accident. Alarm button is yellow, and placed above the floor buttons except for side mounted panels where it is mounted beside the door control buttons.

Early 2010s to current
This fixtures lineup was launched in 2011 and was initially avaiable only for AXIEZ and NEXCUBE elevators in Japan. In 2013, Mitsubishi expanded these fixtures to other countries (specifically Asian countries) with the release of the NEXIEZ elevator series.
Some key features of these fixtures:
Newly redesigned buttons, featuring illuminating halo and number.
New button illuminations in white and blue (optional). The standard orange illumination remains.
The Gill Sans typeface has been extended to include the letters as well, which previously used Helvetica. However the letters appear to be slightly compressed and the top of the "4" has been flattened.
Redesigned floor indicator display. The Mitsubishi Electric logo is now visible in between the speaker and the indicator display.
These fixtures are currently used for Mitsubishi NEXIEZ-MR, NEXIEZ-MRL, NEXIEZ-GPX (Latin America), NEXIEZ-LITE (India since 2014), NEXIEZ-S, AXIEZ (Japan only), NEXCUBE (Japan only) and GFC-L3 elevators. They are also used in the current release of ELEMOTION and NexWay Modernization for modernization.
In 2018, Mitsubishi redesigned these fixtures with small revisions to make them compliant with EN81-70:2018 regulations[18]. These updates includes:
Added white frame on the push buttons to provide luminance contrast with the button's surrounding.
Added white frame on the landing hall/call stations to provide luminance contrast with the panel's surroundings and enhance visibility.
Button characters for DOAS keypads changed from black to white, and a white ring has been added to the keypad buttons.
Redesigned user interface (UI) design for DOAS touch screens:
Button for main floor/exit changed from white star to a green symbol.
Enlarged numbers, symbols, wheelchair (accessibility) and VIP icon.
Enlarged active area for the buttons, now indicated by red squares.
Also in 2018, Mitsubishi discontinued on making the surface mounted "glass" (which were actually made of metal-like resin material) landing stations and replaced them with surface mounted stainless steel panels which were initially used for the NEXIEZ S elevators only.
Round stainless steel buttons (Tactiled)
These are round stainless steel buttons with illuminating halo and tactile. They light up orange (standard), blue or white (optional).

Arrival chimes
The arrival chimes are still the same as the ones used in the mid-1990s. In Hong Kong, some of the chimes have been slightly changed as part of landlord's or government's (if they're in government buildings) requests[25][26].
