Unless I'm misunderstanding you I think places like http://component.io/ have some nice widgets. Some of which are able to play nicely in both mobile and desktop environments, they might be simple i.e. http://component.io/ghinda/css-toggle-switch but they can do the job. It doesn't seem a significant hurdle to create your own or to use a third party control if browser's aren't as flexible as required. It's not ideal either though.
