How big should touchscreen buttons be?
If a touch screen is going to be used, regardless of the approach, it appears that buttons should be at least 20mm. Using anything smaller may result in significant performance decrements. A compromise usually has to be made between button size and available screen space,or “real estate”.
The size of a button also helps make it identifiable as one. Studies by the MIT Touch Lab suggests that 10mm x 10mm is the best minimum size for buttons due to the average size of fingertips. Designing buttons must not only be pleasing to the eye, but they also need to make tactile sense for the user.
What size should a button be on mobile?
For instance, in android UI design, flat and raised material buttons should have be 36dp high, have a minimum width of 88dp, and have a 2dp corner radius (flat)/have a default elevation of 2dp (raised).
MIT’s Touch Lab published a study back in 2003 that found most fingertips to be 8-10mm wide. The clear implication is that you don’t want a button to be any smaller than 10mm – unless you’re willing to risk the usability of your design on the chance that your users have very tiny fingers.

To calculate button ligne, all we need to do is to convert it into millimeters or inches. As the standard, 40 ligne or 40L equals 1 inch or 25 milimiters. So 1L equals 0.635mm. To calculate button size in ligne, simply divide the diameter of the button (in millimeters) by 0.635.
