[0011] Preferably, the square frame is communicated with one of the flow slots and one of the discharge slots respectively.

[0012] Preferably, a circuit board is movably provided between the lower shell and the silicone button, the circuit board is located between the two square frames, and two sides of the circuit board are movably connected to opposite sides of the two square frames.

[0013] Compared with the related art, the new waterproof silicone button provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] When water enters the controller from the top, it comes into contact with the silicone button and flows on the silicone button. The water flows into the arc groove on the silicone button, leaves the silicone button through the flow groove of the silicone button and enters the discharge groove of the remote control. It leaves the remote control through the discharge groove of the remote control and enters the remote control through the completion of the waterproof structure of the silicone button. The water is discharged, preventing water from damaging the electronic components inside the remote control, thereby improving the waterproofness of the remote control to a certain extent.
