A seesaw sliding composite motion switch is provided. The switch includes at least two switch elements disposed on a printed wiring board, a holder placed on the printed wiring board, and a slider which moves in a sliding manner between the printed wiring board and the holder. The slider has lever swingingly supporting portions projecting from openings defined on the holder. A lever is supported by the lever swingingly supporting portions. First projections are disposed on the holder. Openings permitting swinging motion are defined on the lever and accommodate the first projections only at a neutral position of a sliding motion to thereby permit the lever to turn. Second projections are disposed on the holder and abut against the lever when it turns to thereby prevent the sliding motion of the slider. Balls are disposed on the slider. A swing return first cam portion is disposed on the lever and has one of the balls abutted thereagainst. A slide return second cam portion is disposed on the holder and has another of the balls abutted thereagainst. With this arrangement, the seesaw sliding composite motion switch can move in four directions, that is, sliding directions and swing directions from the neutral position, is less likely to break even if a strong force is applied thereto, permits a metal mold to be made into a simple structure, can be easily assembled, and has high switching reliability.
