Abstract
A push button switch includes a base, a locking member received in the base, a push button switch penetrating the base to engage with the locking member, and a lock body. The base defines a receiving chamber and includes first magnetic members. The push button switch defines a hole. The lock body includes second magnetic members, and penetrates the hole and the receiving chamber to engage with the base by the first magnetic members attracting the second magnetic member. The push button is limited to slide by the lock body and is slideable along the base when the lock body is driven to rotate relative to the push button by an external force.
