There is provided a compound switch suitable for preventing malfunction as a multidirectional switch caused by an unreasonable turning force applied to a slider, improving the switch operability, and simplifying a switch mounting panel surface. When a transverse push-in force is applied to the operating portion, the sliderslides in the push-in direction of the operating portion from a fixed position of neutrality, and hence a contact state corresponding to the slide direction can be obtained. When torque for turning the operating portionaround the axis thereof is applied to the operating portion, the torque is transmitted to an outer basevia the slideretc., by which the outer base, the slider, and the operating portionare rotatingly moved together in the rotation direction of the operating portionfrom the fixed position of neutrality, and hence a contact state corresponding to the rotation direction can be obtained.
