A steering wheel includes a damper unit and an airbag cover configured to move, when a horn is activated, in a horn operation direction with respect to an airbag housing. The damper unit includes a damper made of insulating material coupled to the airbag housing, a switch assembly coupled to the airbag housing in an insulating state via the damper and coupled to the steering wheel to be continuously energized, and a spring. The spring is coupled to the airbag housing to be continuously energized and selectively electrically conducted with the switch assembly depending on whether the airbag cover is in contact with the switch assembly due to elastic deformation when the airbag cover moves in the horn operation direction.
