In this, a foot switch section has a four-sided surface shape and step-motion-detectable foot switches internally formed in nine regions by dividing the surface shape in 3×3. Furthermore, the foot switch section has slippage-preventing linear grooves at least in the regions on the surface of the top layer of a first sheet unit, which is part of the surface shape, and in which the foot switches are arranged.
