The element for guiding the attachment support includes a first guiding part and a second guiding part. Further, the steering wheel includes an electrical circuit part with at least one switch having a first contact terminal, a second contact terminal, a resilient return element, and deformable damping element. In addition, the second guiding part includes a push interface for receiving the return force of the resilient return element. The push interface is arranged between the resilient return element and the damping element, and the second contact terminal is supported by the second guiding part.
