This results in a reduction of the guide clearance in the operation by an advantageous reduction of tolerances. Minimized tolerances between the key tappet and the receiving section as well as a switching point result in high switching accuracy, short switching travel, a quickly achieved switching point, a short total travel, fast downshifting and a minimized tendency of the button to tilt and turn.
