A switch mechanism, and a multidirectional operation switch and multidirectional operation unit employing this switch mechanism. The switch mechanism has a flexible contact, multiple fixed contacts, and multiple common contacts. Multiple fixed contacts are disposed facing the flexible contact, and include multiple first common contacts and multiple second common contacts for common electrical coupling, and multiple independent contacts which are electrically independent. These fixed contacts are aligned in a group of the first common contact, independent contact, second common contact, and independent contact. This group is disposed repeatedly in the clockwise or counterclockwise sequence. The flexible contact touches the first or second common contacts and one independent contact adjacent to the common contact for electrically coupling the common contact and independent contact.
