    Patent number: 11621710
    Abstract: A capacitance switch includes an electrode portion having a first electrode and a second electrode, a moving member, and a pressing member having a projecting portion. A distance between the moving member and the electrode portion is changed by displacing the projecting portion. The moving member has a first moving surface and a second moving surface. The projecting portion includes a first projecting portion and a second projecting portion. The first projecting portion is to be displaced by first pressing of the pressing member and brings the first moving surface close to the electrode portion.
