SWITCH AND OPERATING DEVICE

The invention provides a switch with an excellent mute effect and an operation device. The switch (2) is provided with a fixed contact (25); a movable contact piece (26) having flexibility, one end side being a swing fulcrum (260), and the other end side being a movable contact (261); and a pressing member (21) that presses between the movable contact (261) and a swing fulcrum (260) of the movablecontact piece (26) by being pressed from the outside. The movable contact piece (26) is pressed by the pressing member (21) so as to swing, and the movable contact (261) is in contact with the fixedcontact (25). Furthermore, the switch (2) is provided with a contact buffer member (28) disposed so as to be in contact with the movable contact piece (26); and a biasing part buffer member (29) thatis disposed so as to be in contact with a biasing part (262) formed on the movable contact piece (26), the biasing part (262) generating a reaction force against the pressing of the pressing member (21). 本发明提供一种静音效果优良的开关及操作装置。开
