控制元件 vs 控件

(computing) a control (e.g. button, text box etc) · Different wording

大陆 · Mainland
控件 kòng jiàn · ㄎㄨㄥˋ ㄐㄧㄢˋ

What differs, and by how much

Different wording The two terms share 控件 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 控制元件; on the Mainland it is 控件 - both point at “(computing) a control (e.g. button, text box etc)”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 控制元件、控件 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
