    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises a housing having a key hole formed therein and comprising a switch disposed therein, the key hole being formed such that a length extending in a first direction is longer than a length extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and a key assembly coupled to the housing, at least part of the key assembly being disposed inside the key hole. The key assembly comprises a cover member, at least part of which is exposed outside the housing through the key hole and a pressing member that is coupled to the cover member and that presses the switch. The pressing member comprises first protrusions protruding from opposite longitudinal end portions of the pressing member in the first direction, and the first protrusions are brought into contact with an inner wall of the key hole and have elasticity such that at least parts of the first protrusions are capable of elastic deformation. Besides, it may be permissible to prepare various other embodiments speculated through the specification.
