A switch, comprising: a base; a cover mounted on one surface of the base; an operation body which is stored in an operation recess formed on one surface of the base and is held between the base and the cover rotatably from the outside; a return spring which is supported between the cover and the operation body and configured to apply a return force to the operation body; and a contact mechanism portion which is disposed between the base and the operation body; wherein the switch is configured to operate the operation body to drive the contact mechanism portion, a pair of operation receiving portions (50, 60) is extended from an outer peripheral surface of the operation body, characterized in that at least one first operation surface (52, 62) is extended outward from an apex (51, 61) located at a free end of each of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), each apex (51, 61) of each of the operation receiving portions (50, 60) being the highest point on the respective operation receiving portion (50, 60) when an external force is not loaded on any of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), and, when the switch is seen in a front view and the external force is not loaded on any of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), intersection angles each of which is between a straight line connecting a rotational center of the operation body and one of the apexes (51, 61) of the operation receiving portions (50, 60) and a virtual reference line running in the vertical direction, passing through the rotational center of the operation body and dividing the operation body into two sections in a width direction are not smaller than 45 degrees and not larger than 90 degrees. a base; a cover mounted on one surface of the base; an operation body which is stored in an operation recess formed on one surface of the base and is held between the base and the cover rotatably from the outside; a return spring which is supported between the cover and the operation body and configured to apply a return force to the operation body; and a contact mechanism portion which is disposed between the base and the operation body; wherein the switch is configured to operate the operation body to drive the contact mechanism portion, a pair of operation receiving portions (50, 60) is extended from an outer peripheral surface of the operation body, characterized in that at least one first operation surface (52, 62) is extended outward from an apex (51, 61) located at a free end of each of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), each apex (51, 61) of each of the operation receiving portions (50, 60) being the highest point on the respective operation receiving portion (50, 60) when an external force is not loaded on any of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), and, when the switch is seen in a front view and the external force is not loaded on any of the operation receiving portions (50, 60), intersection angles each of which is between a straight line connecting a rotational center of the operation body and one of the apexes (51, 61) of the operation receiving portions (50, 60) and a virtual reference line running in the vertical direction, passing through the rotational center of the operation body and dividing the operation body into two sections in a width direction are not smaller than 45 degrees and not larger than 90 degrees.
