ABSTRACT:
A switch for electric equipment comprises an operation button (50) arranged at the operation panel side of electric equipment and a plurality of switch bodies (51, 52) adapted to selectively come into contact with a plurality of positions of a front press facet (50P) of the operation button (50) as one of the plurality of positions is depressed, the plurality of positions being disposed oppositely relative to the center of the front press facet (50P). The front press facet (50P) of the operation button (50) is inclined relative to a plane P of arrangement of the switch bodies (51, 52). The front area of the operation button (50) is not reduced when the operation panel side of electric equipment is made to show a low profile so that the user can depress and operate the operation button (50) without difficulty.
