RUBBER SWITCH

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rubber switch in which the number of components at a front surface part of an electronic apparatus is reduced, for a reduced cost and improved quality. SOLUTION: A rubber switch comprises a pressuring part which, composed of a rubber member, operates a switch provided to a printed board, a support part which elastically supports the pressurizing part at a prescribed position above the switch, and a base part which is, extending at the support part, fixed to the printed board. An optical filter (light guide part) which guides the light of a light source to a prescribed position near a mechanical switch provided adjoining the rubber switch, is integrally molded by connecting to the base part.
