There is provided a switch which is excellent in stability in electric contact between an edge part of a contact spring and a fixed contact part, ensures a stroke required for an eccentric load which is imposed on the contact spring and reduces variations in clicking feeling without shortening a life of the dome-shaped contact spring which can be clicked. A depression is formed on an inner central part of the contact spring, namely, on a movable contact part and the edge part formed on the periphery of the depression is allowed to contact the surface of the fixed contact part by a line contact, thereby ensuring electric stability of contact between the edge part and the fixed contact part. Since the movable contact part has no hole, no dust enters the switch, thereby preventing a life of the contact spring from being shortened. Further, since the central part of the contact spring is formed in a dome part by a spherical surface and a skirt part is formed of a conical surface on the outer peripheral edge part of the dome part, a required stroke is ensured and variations in clicking feeling are reduced.
