Very common in Australia.  Have a look here -

These are modular, you can buy the faceplates & switches separately.  The
switches just snap in.  Faceplaces have as many holes as you need.  The same
faceplate can be used for network connections, TV, phone etc, just buy the
type of connection you need.  

The 3-way ones are usually used for fan & light control, one switch for the
light, the next for the fan, and a dimmer control goes into the 3rd spot.

Push buttons don't see much use domestically, but they're easy enough to
get.  Engraved as well if you're enthusiastic enough.
