[0002] A toilet is generally equipped with a control panel for users to operate to achieve flushing operations. The control panel mainly includes a panel body and buttons that movably cooperate with the panel body; a button slot is usually provided on the panel body, and the button moves in the axial direction of the button slot.

[0003] In product design, in order to ensure the integrity and beauty of the appearance, the side of the button is designed to match the gap of the side wall of the button slot. However, due to the accumulated tolerances during the production and assembly of accessories, the gaps on the four sides of the button may be different, that is, the button may be biased to one side and fit with the side wall of the button slot. When the user presses the button, a large friction force will be generated, the button movement is not smooth, and the user experience is poor; at the same time, the button does not move completely in the axial direction, which may also affect the drainage control mechanism driven by the button, that is, the drainage function cannot be smoothly realized. In the prior art, the way to reduce friction is to design ribs on the side of the button, thereby reducing the contact area between the button and the button slot, but this inevitably increases the gap between the button and the button slot, which cannot meet the original intention of product design.
