A lighted pushbutton assembly includes a carrier including an outer wall that defines an inner space and is continuous along a top surface of the carrier. A rib guide is formed as part of the outer wall and defines an opening extending through a bottom surface of the outer wall and including a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending in a second direction that is non-parallel to the first direction. A pushbutton is shaped to fit substantially within the inner space and a rib is formed as part of the pushbutton and includes a first guide that extends in the first direction and the second guide that extends in the second direction. The first guide is engaged with the first portion and the second guide is engaged with the second portion to guide reciprocating movement of the pushbutton with respect to the carrier.
