Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element ([ButtonBase](/api/button-base/)).

## CSS API

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the `classes` property.
This property accepts the following keys:

| <span class="prop-name">flat</span> | Styles applied to the root element for backwards compatibility with legacy variant naming.

| <span class="prop-name">containedSecondary</span> | Styles applied to the root element if `variant="[contained \| fab]"` and `color="secondary"`.

Have a look at [overriding with classes](/customization/overrides/#overriding-with-classes) section
and the [implementation of the component](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/master/packages/material-ui/src/Button/Button.js)
for more detail.

If using the `overrides` key of the theme as documented
[here](/customization/themes/#customizing-all-instances-of-a-component-type),
you need to use the following style sheet name: `MuiButton`.

## Inheritance

The properties of the [ButtonBase](/api/button-base/) component are also available.
You can take advantage of this behavior to [target nested components](/guides/api/#spread).
