The pressing element is mounted to a bottom surface of the base plate. The pressing element includes a pedestal and a cushion element. The pedestal has a base board. A bottom surface of the base board protrudes downward to form a pressing block. A bottom surface of the pressing block is recessed upward and gradually arched outward from top to bottom to form a first pressing face. The rocker component has a base portion. The first pressing face is in contact with the base portion. The cushion element is mounted on the pedestal, so that the rocker component is mounted on the electronic component by the pressing structure, the rocker component and the electronic component are without affording the excessive pressure force to cause a damage and a deformation of the electronic component. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A pressing structure adapted for mounting a rocker component on an electronic component, comprising: a support frame having a base plate;
