Button padding is one of the most important aspects of button styling. My personal styling is to set vertical padding equal to font height, and set horizontal padding to 1.33 times vertical height. If a font height is 20px, vertical padding is 20px, and horizontal padding would be 27px.

What is the ideal size of button?
The size of a button also helps make it identifiable as one. Studies by the MIT Touch Lab suggests that 10mm x 10mm is the best minimum size for buttons due to the average size of fingertips. Designing buttons must not only be pleasing to the eye, but they also need to make tactile sense for the user.

What makes a good button?
Summary. A good button is one that is instinctive to your user — they know what it'll do and where they can find it. The beauty of a button is in its simplicity in function, placement and design. Keep the button text concise and make sure it has enough contrast to other UI elements on the page.
Should buttons have borders?
Can I design buttons without a border? The foundational rule of good button design is simple — buttons should look like buttons. Border reinforces the feeling of a traditional button and creates an eye-catching target for the user. Without a border, the UI element looks more like a link rather button.
