The invention concerns a manually actuatable rotary switch with keying function for electrical engineering and electronics. The invention essentially consists of an annular magnet, a stator, engaging elements, a shaft, washers, a code disk, a scanning device and a stop. The stator is provided with a cylinder which encompasses an annular magnet. A catching element with an embedded washer, guides for engaging elements, and a code disk are associated with the upper face of the annular magnet and a washer with the lower face. A rotatably mounted and axially sliding shaft which is square with an extension is mounted in the center of the rotary switch. The washers consist of ferromagnetic or soft magnetic material. A scanning device is associated with the code disk and a stop with the washer. The cylinder is constructed as a notched rim with notch elevations and notch countersinks which engage with engaging elements. The engaging elements engage in guides which extend radially. In another embodiment, the stator is provided with a notched rim with notch elevations and notch countersinks on the inner surface of the extension.
