I love the way Space: 1999's Main Mission uses those things. Who needs a monitor and keyboard when your desk lamp is that cool?

They came loose in one episode and you could see the wires underneath as it lifted up where as I thought they were a fixture of the console!!!

To be fair, George Pal's version of HG Wells "War of the Worlds" was released in 1953; 13 years before the premiere of Star Trek; and 11 years prior to Star Trek's first pilot episode, "The Cage".
Ergo, it would be more accurate to say that Star Trek was borrowing/using sound effects from George Pal's film.
I remember Filmation's Space Academy and Jason of Star Command using one, just one, TAS button chirp for all their button pressing SFX.
What stood out for me in Filmation's space shows was a sound I think they only used once in TAS but used constantly in Academy, Jason, and others -- an ethereal, rising and falling tone like a slowed-down siren, used in all of their space scenes as if it were the ambient noise of space itself.
Do you remember which episode of TAS it was?
^Not offhand.
I was watching "I Dream of Jeannie" the other day. It was the 4th season premiere "U.F.Oohhh Jeannie!" With the Jet Plate.The background inside the ship was "The Cage" era bridge. It was a middling episode saved primarily by Heyden Roarke. God, he was hilarious.
I saw him as a High Court Judge on Police woman the other day and found him very irascible!

Transformers was also fond of copying Star Wars SFX as well, like the engine sounds of the Falcon and TIE fighters, among others.
Not "copying" so much as "licensing," just as you'd do with any other stock audio, footage, or imagery.
A unique blaster that was. It would have been perfect for Borg drones
I'm currently watching an episode of The Wild Wild West on DecadesTV where West, Artemus Gordon and the villain are robbing a museum.
To do so they've been hyper-accelerated to such a speed it looks like everyone else is standing still.
Once inside the museum, West and Gordon hear a strange chirping noise.
The villain explains it's the sound of the people in the room talking.
The sound of the people talking is the sound the communicator makes when being flipped open to signal the Enterprise.
