What is in here

Buttons and controls lead, then cameras, robots and arrows, phones, monitors, mice, scanners and cables. It covers both the hardware people touch and the interface furniture that represents it, so a phone sits near a button near a cursor.

Where these get used

SaaS marketing sites and developer documentation are the heaviest users, and feature grids in particular, where six icons need to look related without being identical. Product tours use them step by step. Hardware brands use them for specification and compatibility, IT services for support categories, and AI products use the robot set, where the alternative is another glowing brain. The cable and port icons do unglamorous but genuinely useful work in setup instructions, where a picture of the right connector prevents a support ticket. Security products use the control and access icons across permission screens. Integration and marketplace pages use them for service categories, and engineering documentation uses the hardware set for architecture diagrams, where a consistent render style makes a complicated diagram readable rather than busy.
