ことができる。The magnitude of the force that pushes the operating knob 16 when the operating knob 16 is pushed varies depending on the elastic restoring force of the dome-shaped movable contact 14E of the switch portion 14 and the rear end of the driving body 11. The position where the arm 11C pushes the arm 18A of the L-shaped actuator 18,
By changing the position at which B presses the dome-shaped movable contact 14E of the switch unit 14, the relationship between the force for pressing the operation knob 16 and the push stroke can be adjusted. As in the present embodiment, By providing the arm 11C at the rear end of 11 and pushing the most tip of the arm 18A of the L-shaped actuator 18 with the projection 11D at the tip thereof, the push stroke can be set to the maximum.
