The two-stage rubber switch comprises a housing; an operating knob; two push bodies slidably supported by the housing; a contact wiring board having four mutually-opposing contact end portions arranged two by two under each push body; a rubber switch member interposed between the housing and the contact wiring board and having four conductive contact pieces arranged so as to be opposed to the four mutually-opposing contact end portions, respectively on the contact wiring board; and two-stage switching members in particular, such as semispherical rubber buckling portions formed together with the rubber switch member or elastically slidable push members. Further, it is preferable to use some semispherical rubber buckling portions of the rubber switch member as click feeling providing members.
