ABSTRACT:
A push button switch includes an elastic sheet member serving as a stopper of an operation member and an elastic projection. When the operation member abuts with the projection, it is elastically deformed to absorb abutment impact to thereby cost effectively reduce noise when the push button switch is operated. A key switch includes a torsion bar, a key top and, an elastic sheet member having a projection. The play of a torsion bar at a bearing portion and at a coupling portion of the torsion bar with the key top is eliminated through a pushing force by the elastic sheet member having a projection, to thereby reduce noise and prevent trapping of a key stem by another component, when the key switch is operated.
