Abstract
An operation detection switch capable of reproducing the manner of performance in which the speed of depressing an operating portion changes in the middle of a key action and of achieving a reduced manufacturing cost. The operation detection switch includes a switch main body and legs. A fulcrum projection, a first extending portion, protrusion and a second extending portion are provided in sequence along one end to the other end of and extending from the switch main body. Furthermore, a pressure projection is provided on the other end of the switch main body. Movable contacts corresponding to fixed contacts formed on a printed circuit board are formed at the tips of the first and the second extending portions. The operation detection switch and the printed circuit board constitute a detection device for detecting the depressing action of the key.
