Zusammenfassung:A switch includes a button which is connected to a ring-shaped permanent magnet that is magnetized along a z-axis, a guide member made from an non-ferromagnetic material inside which the button and the ring-shaped permanent magnet are arranged so as to be moveable along the z-axis, as well as at least one sensor that has a sensitive area that is arranged inside the ring-shaped permanent magnet and that is configured to measure a change in a magnetic field in the radial direction within a x-y-plane, wherein the x-axis and the y-axis lie orthogonally to the z-axis, respectively.
