An operating switch has a rotating operation body (14) which is configured in such a manner that when a part other than the center of the surface is depressed, the depressed part sinks to cause tilting of the whole, and a two-stage dome switch (24) which is arranged on the back side of the rotating operation body (14) correspondingly to the part other than the center in order to detect the depression. The two-stage dome switch (24) is equipped with a first detection portion which detects sinking of the depressed part caused by the depressing operation of the rotating operation body (14), and a second detection portion which detects deeper sinking.
