Abstract
An electrical switch arrangement for controlling an electronic apparatus. The arrangement includes a reinforcement member, an electrical switch with tactile effect, a force transmission member which cooperates with the electrical switch with tactile effect, a permanent magnet which acts on a magnetic disc linked to the force transmission member to slow down the displacements of the force transmission member, and an electromagnet with controlled electrical power supply. When powered, the electromagnet produces a magnetic field which cancels the magnetic field of the permanent magnet.
