A switch assembly including a socket, a top cap, and an intermediate cart located in the socket. The intermediate cart is slidable with the socket. The top cap is in a spherical or pivot engagement with the intermediate cart. An activation force of the sliding movement is lower than an activation force of the spherical or pivot movement.

A multi-directional input device has: a manipulation knob for which a movement manipulation in a horizontal direction and a pressing-down manipulation in a perpendicular direction are possible; a manipulation direction detection switch that is switched to an on-state when the movement manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob; and a common switch that is pressed down both when the movement manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob and when the pressing-down manipulation is performed on the manipulation knob, by which the common switch generates a different manipulation feeling than the manipulation direction detection switch and is switched to an on-state.

A base element and at least one switching element are included in an operator control device which may be disposed in a vehicle. By closing at least one electrical contact, the switching element is moveable from a first position into a second position relative to the base element. The operator control device can also include at least one pushbutton switch moveable relative to the base element between a position of rest and at least one activation position. The operator control device can further include at least one restoring element, formed of silicone and supported on the base element and on the pushbutton switch, which can be elastically deformed by moving the pushbutton switch from the position of rest into the activation position. Using the restoring element, the pushbutton switch can be moved from the activation position into the position of rest by relaxing the restoring element.

An operating device having an optical finger navigation module for installation in a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, which allows for secure operation and can be produced at low cost, is disclosed. The operating device has a mounting frame, in which a first light guiding element and the optical finger navigation module is held by a light sealing element. The light sealing element is mounted by a snap connection on the mounting frame. The mounting frame has at least one guide element with which a movement of the mounting frame can be guided.

The invention relates to the field of switches, and particularly provides a switch for a vehicle and a vehicle. The invention aims to solve the problems of switch zero drift and shaking caused by the existence of a dimensional deviation of a switch of an existing vehicle. To this end, the switch according to the invention comprises a pressing rocking bar, a first push rod, a second push rod, a first elastic member, a second elastic member, a first limiting body, a second limiting body, and a housing, wherein the pressing rocking bar is pivotally connected to the housing; the first push rod and the second push rod respectively run through the first limiting body and the second limiting body and abut against bottoms of a first end and a second end of the pressing rocking bar, and the second push rod abuts against the second limiting body; and the first elastic member and the second elastic member are fixedly arranged and respectively connected to bottoms of the first push rod and the second push rod, torque of the second push rod acting on the second end is greater than torque of the first push rod acting on the first end, and a moving gap is reserved between the first limiting body and the first push rod in a pressing direction of the first push rod. Switch shaking is prevented and switch position accuracy is ensured.

A power seat operating device for a vehicle has a switch module for operating a power seat of the vehicle. In particular, the switch module includes a plurality of seesaw type switches to control operation directions of the power seat, and the operation directions of the power seat according to the operation of each switch is displayed with arrows on a display, thereby improving the switch operating convenience of the user such as accurately controlling the operation direction of the power seat according to the switch operation by the user, and accurately recognizing a selection state and an operation direction of the switch desired by the user.

A multi-directional input device includes an operation knob, a plurality of direction setting switches, and a sensation generation unit. The operation knob is configured to be operable in multiple operation directions. The plurality of direction setting switches are configured to be turned on by being pressed when the operation knob is operated. The sensation generation unit is configured to generate different operation sensation from operation sensation generated by the direction setting switches. Sensation is generated by the sensation generation unit after at least one of the plurality of direction setting switches has been turned on in a predetermined operation direction out of the multiple operation directions.
