A multidirectional switch is provided with a lever, a lever support assembly for supporting the lever in such a way that it can be slanted in directions of first and second axes intersecting each other, an automatic lever reset mechanism for causing the lever to automatically return from its slant position to neutral position, a retainer for retaining the lever in a position slanted in the second axis direction against restoration force exerted by the automatic lever reset mechanism, and a sensor of which sensing elements are arranged at positions corresponding to individual slant positions of the lever. The multidirectional switch provides different types of information depending on directions in which the lever is slanted.
