It’s funny because it’s true (@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works really does need 3-way switches for his application).

The naming is not consistent. As Wikipedia puts it,

This article follows usage in the United States. Readers in most other countries should read “two-way” or “SPDT” for the United States “three-way”; and “intermediate”, “crossover” or “DPDT” switch for the United States “four-way”.

The switches I have are marked with cute “ON/ON” labels which I suppose could be a metaphor for something.

  If you rock it up to a switch, then as the wiring diagram shows: (N)ot gonna (L)ie, (MCB) My Curious Bro, a 3 way gang-bang is pretty gay.

Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.
