There's nothing at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lander_(video_game_genre)#Lunar_Lander_(1973)
about the switch registers being worn by playing Burness's Moonlander.
What's the connection?

There are a couple of links from that section to interesting pages with
quotes from Burness,
    https://www.acriticalhit.com/moonlander-one-giant-leap-for-game-design
    https://www.technologizer.com/2009/07/19/lunar-lander/
which include a photo that's captioned as Burness and Moonlander from
circa '74:
