A pushbutton comprises a cap (1), a housing (2) with an interior space (22), a reset element (3, 4) for connecting the cap (1) to the housing (2), and an electrical switch element (5). The cap (1) is able to move from a rest position to a switch position relative to the electrical switch element (5) so that the electric switch element (5), which is disposed inside the housing (2), can be actuated. The reset element (3, 4) returns the cap (1) to the rest position after actuation. The reset element (3, 4) comprises a first spring means (3) and a second spring means (4), wherein the first spring means (3) is offset relative to the second spring means (4) at least in the direction of the actuation axis (A) of the cap (1).
