A switch assembly is adapted to be disposed in a holding portion of a hand-held device. The switch assembly includes first and second keys, first and second connecting portions, a switch element and a plunger. The first and second keys are exposed on the surface of the holding portion and respectively disposed on the opposite sides thereof. The first and second connecting portions respectively connect the first and second keys and the holding portion. The first and second connecting portions are disposed for allowing the first key having a displacement toward the second key along their connecting direction. The switch element is located inside of the holding portion, and the first key has a first backside toward the second key. The second key has a second backside toward the first key. The plunger is adapted to press and activate the switch element through the displacement.

A switch (30) for a hand-held power tool (10) or as a component of a hand-held power tool (10), which has an electric drive motor (16) that can be switched by the switch (30). The switch (30) has a switch housing (33) with a switch chamber (35) in which a switch actuator (75) that can be moved between at least two switch positions (ML, MR) is arranged in order to actuate an electric switch element, said switch actuator being kinetically coupled, by means of a transmission element (70), to a switch (30) actuation element (32), which is arranged outside the switch housing (33) and can be moved between at least two actuation positions (R, L), wherein the transmission element (70) passes through a through-opening (54) on a wall of the switch housing (33) such that the switch actuator (75) can be moved by moving the actuation element (32) in order to actuate the switch element (24). A rotary bearing (77) is arranged in the through-opening (54), the transmission element (70) being rotatably mounted on the rotary bearing about a rotational axis (D).
