Abstract
Buttons (A,B) have a button moving part () disposed in front of a circuit board () and allowed to move in a front-back direction, and guided parts () moving in conjunction with the button moving part (). The buttons (A,B) cause the button moving part () to operate a switch () of the circuit board (). Guide parts (E,F) are disposed along the guided parts () and restrict the direction in which the button moving part () moves. The guide parts (E,F) and the guided parts () have portions located back of a front surface () of the circuit board (). This structure effectively prevents the buttons from tilting when they are operated.
