Basically vtec switches and controllers both turn the VTEC solenoid on and off. The switch is really cheap (compared to controllers), and just works off the RPM. As soon as the RPM gets to a certain point, it puts power to the VTEC solenoid. A controller does the same thing, but I think that the advantage is that it allows you to adjust the RPM setting much easier than the switch... Most VTEC controllers also have controls for Air/Fuel as well (I think), but they're pretty spendy. You can also just use an ECU from a VTEC, and it has the VTEC controller built in (but once again, the switch is cheaper than a whole ECU, and the controller is more versatile). That's my understanding of them.
