A pushbutton switch has a plurality of pushbuttons and corresponding switch contacts. The switch contacts are formed conductive patterns printed on an insulation plate or sheet and are in contact with a pressure conductive rubber sheet. The pressure conductive rubber sheet includes conductive powder and is rendered conductive when compressed by the pushbutton, so that the corresponding switch contacts are closed by the conductive rubber sheet. A plurality of pairs of switch contacts are connected to terminals which are arranged in an adjacent relation.
