Abstract
An image forming apparatus incudes an outer casing, a button portion including a pressed portion, a support portion and a deformable portion, and a regulation portion configured to come into contact with the support portion to regulate a position of the button portion. The button portion is movable from a first positon to a second position when the pressed portion is pressed. When the button portion is moved from the first position to the second position, the outer casing of the image forming apparatus slides with the button portion and a force is applied in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction to cause the deformable portion of the support portion to deform and the button portion to move in the second direction.
