To provide a remote control button for electronic endoscopes having superior operational feeling and operability by minimizing an operation stroke for turning on an electric switch and consequently minimizing push-in force.

In a state where no push-in operation force is applied to a switch pushing member 15, the switch pushing member 15 stands still at a position where energization force received from a push-in operation cap 11 and repulsive force received from a built-in return spring 22 of the electric switch 20 are balanced, so that a movable part 21 of the electric switch 20 is held in a state pushed to a middle position before the on position.
