Feature based or Brand specific
Buying wireless doorbell buttons is easy. You can choose to buy one according to its features or depending on its brand or manufacturer. For example, most buttons have a range of around 100 feet from the receiver and this can get reduced further by the presence of metal sliding, grills, or metal garage doors.

Designs
As we mentioned earlier, the number of designs in wireless doorbell buttons is limited. The basic and most popular design is the one with a rectangular or square cover with a round transparent press button in the center. The cover and button colors can be swapped and altered. Other aesthetic designs include models with a satin nickel finish, slender button designs and modern and futuristic looking buttons from Jacob Jensen. Most people buy the wireless doorbell only for the convenience and portability associated with it. The design is not given much importance.
The Price range
