A push button assembly (30) includes a spring member (32) and a button (34). The spring member is secured to a computer bezel (10), and includes a rod (36), a pair of U-shaped crooks (38, 40), and a deformable arm (42) extending from one of the U-shaped crooks. The deformable arm includes a free end portion (48). The button is movably received in an aperture (16) of the bezel. The button defines a through hole (58) for movably receiving the free end portion of the spring member. Thus the button can move freely in the aperture of the bezel.
