Toggles are buttons in the player's inventory that are used to toggle certain effects and abilities. Some of these toggles are available at anytime, while others require certain items placed in the inventory, or in the Void Vault while the player has an open Void Bag.
Some toggles have unique icons when turned off. Toggles without unique "off"-state icons will be dimmed out when turned off.
On the Desktop version, toggles appear as small icons to the left of the player's main inventory. Toggles from PDA are located below the minimap, or to the left of the armor slots, depending on UI scale and resolution.
On the Mobile version, toggles will appear in the 
tools menu below the inventory. Toggles from PDA are located in the 
accessories menu below the armor slots.
Default toggles
These toggles are always available.
Block Swap

The Block Swap ability is toggled by these icons.
Hotbar Lock

The Hotbar Lock toggles whether clicking on the hotbar slots switches held items.
When hotbar is unlocked, clicking on a hotbar slot will select the item in the slot. This may interfere with other actions, for example, aiming a ranged weapon towards top-left corner of the screen.
When hotbar is locked, clicking on the hotbar acts just like clicking elsewhere, having no effect other than using the selected item on the cursor location.

player menu.

Visibility
Each accessory slot, pet slot, and light pet slot has a respective "visibility" toggle at the top-right corner. When visibility is turned on, the accessory in the slot will be always displayed on the character; the pet in the slot will be summoned. When visibility is turned off, the accessory will be hidden; the pet will be deactivated. Note that accessories in the vanity accessory slots are always displayed, and is not affected by the visibility setting.
Clicking on the icon toggles visibility setting.
After selecting a slot, tap the visibility button below the armor slots to toggle visibility setting.
Item toggles
Certain item and accessories will provide a button for toggling its function when they are consumed, in the player's inventory, in the Void Vault while the player has an open Void Bag, or equipped in accessory slots.
Items combined by multiple other items (e.g. The Grand Design, Cell Phone) will provide toggles of all its components.
Mechanical Lens
The Mechanical Lens provides configurable display for Actuators and Wires.
- Toggles for Actuators and Wires have three states:
- Bright: actuators/wires of this color will be always displayed at maximum brightness.
- Classic: actuators/wires of this color will be displayed as normal, with their brightness affected by nearby light sources.
- Faded: brightness is determined the same way as the Classic state, but actuators/wires of this color will also be semi-transparent.
- The Mechanical Display toggle have two states:
- Forced: all Actuators and Wires will be displayed regardless of item held, while their display method is determined by the respective toggle.
- Normal: all Actuators and Wires will be displayed only if a mechanism-related item is held.
