a base 2 with contacts 3 as well as a flexible coupling means 4 and a ring 5 which is preferably also flexible placed between the control button and the base in the example the parts are separate but it is possible to produce various embodiments of the invention by integrating the functions of several above mentioned parts in a single part for example by integrating the flexible coupling means 4 and the ring 5 in a single part or by integrating both of these parts or the flexible structure in the control button 1 the function of the control button 1 is to transmit the control commands entered by the user to the rest of the control switch for this reason the control button 1 is arranged to be movable and preferably rockable in relation to the center of the control button fig2 illustrates control by the control switch in one direction the control button 1 is thus tilted at one edge towards the base 2 at the same time the ring 5 between the control button 1 and the base 2 presses the flexible coupling means 4 against the contacts 3 of the base in the area exposed to pressing in an advantageous embodiment of the invention the coupling means 4 is a kind of a short circuit ring which couples at least two contacts 3 of the base 2 by the effect of the pressing by a suitable design of the coupling means 4 and the ring 5 it is possible to affect the number of contacts 3 to which the coupling means is connected at various pressing strengths in the preceding example the coupling means 4 of the control switch is flexible and the base 2 is more rigid it is also possible to design.
