Same manufacturer probably attaches an appropriate piece of paper to the switch and sells it for $50 as 'aviation grade' ;-)

But more interesting though - the sign above the switch reads 'SDU mode' where SDU stands for: Sistema Distancionnogo Upravleniya – fly by wire control system.

Presumably this aircraft must have been some kind of prototype version with the ability to change the FBW mode.
