A switch assembly comprises a button, a pivoting element, a first positioning element, and a second positioning element. The button has a first, second, and third states. The pivoting element extends from a height direction of the button, and has first and second contact parts arranged in the height direction. Surfaces of the first and second contact parts have different contours. The first positioning element and the second positioning element respectively correspond to the first contact part and the second contact part, and are movable relative to each other. A function of the first positioning element and a first positioning section of the first contact part is configuring the first state, and functions of the second positioning element and a second positioning section and a third positioning section of the second contact part are respectively configuring the second state and the third state.
