When the sliders 2, 7 are at a neutral position, the light from the lamp is penetrated through the opening 11 so as to illuminate both indication portions 18, and when the slider 2, 7 are sled in one direction, the light from the lamp is shaded by the shading portions 19 so that the indication portion 18 of the slide direction side is not illuminated, and the other indication portion 18 faces the opening portion 11 so as to be illuminated by the light from the lamp 47.
