There's nothing at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Lander_(video_game_genre)#Lunar_Lander_…
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,

which include a photo that's captioned as Burness and Moonlander from
circa '74:
