What is the name of the switch

i did a electrical instulation course @ college (wiring home's ect) and i remeber a lighting switch that we used to use, anyway just wanted to know it theres a minture version of it as it would work perfect for button switching

A double pole double throw (DTDP) switch could do this, just have one set of leads reversed compared to the other two sets.
