A front case(20) is equipped with suspending units(21). A flexible circuit(30) is equipped with plural dome switches(31) disposed on an upper side of the front case. A keypad rubber(40) is installed on an upper side of the flexible circuit. A keypad unit(50) is disposed on an upper side of the keypad rubber, is combined by being suspended on the suspending unit as moving in pressed direction along a pressing action, and provides click sensitivity when the keypad rubber is mutually contacted with the dome switches.
